Advertising Film Production: Real Stories for Your Brand

We shoot light. We shoot real.

At Troublemakers, we turn a brand vision into an authentic advertising film. We are a production company that develops, shoots and delivers campaigns for brands and agencies, from the very first conversation through to final release. But above all, Troublemakers is a hands-on team: human-sized, mobile and committed, always as close as possible to reality, where stories already exist.

From the Amazon rainforest to the Mongolian steppes, from Berber villages to the mountains of Vietnam, we produce immersive advertising films, working as closely as possible with the people we film. What interests us is not the setting, but the human element: a gesture, a voice, a look. That is where the truth of a film comes from.

Advertising Films Designed for Every Format

Troublemakers produces advertising films adapted to every distribution channel.

  • TV and cinema spots, in short or long formats.
  • Digital and social media content in 1:1, 9:16 or 4:5.
  • Brand films, portraits, testimonials, mini-series or editorial content.

Every film is designed from the outset to work across multiple platforms, without compromising clarity or impact.

A Documentary Approach to Advertising Film Production

Troublemakers supports brands and agencies throughout the entire production of their advertising films, from the initial conversation through to release. Our signature lies in a documentary approach serving brand storytelling.

We produce films that tell the story of a craft, a commitment, a place, a profession or a vision, without relying on overt advertising language. This is what we call brand content. In practical terms, it means telling a story rather than pushing a message. Showing rather than explaining. Creating engagement rather than repetition. Content designed to build a narrative and a lasting brand image, far removed from superficial effects.

Our formats move between advertising films, brand content, brand entertainment and films showcasing expertise, at the intersection of anthropology, adventure and the staging of real life.

Our Process: From Concept to Post-Production

Every project begins with an in-depth conversation around your brief. We develop the story together with you, taking into account the brand's DNA, the message to be conveyed and the distribution requirements. Writing, directing approach, moodboards or storyboards: everything is designed to serve the film, without overproducing.

Pre-production is handled with the same level of care. Location scouting, casting, crew building, logistics and scheduling: we prepare each shoot with precision to ensure smooth and respectful working conditions, both for the crew and the people we film.

On set, we oversee the artistic direction and cinematography: lighting, sound, image and rhythm. Production is managed rigorously while remaining light and adaptable, particularly when shooting in real-world environments.

In post-production, we refine every film: editing, colour grading, motion design, mixing, sound design and VFX when needed. Films are delivered in all required formats, ready for broadcast on TV, digital platforms or social media.

Connecting Brands and Broadcasters

Troublemakers acts as a true bridge between brands and broadcasters. We create stories capable of fitting both within a brand's universe and across channels or platforms. We look for that precise point where editorial value meets engagement, where substance matters just as much as form.
