    Dunes Palm Springs.

    A brand film for a mid-century desert property — quiet, sun-baked, and confident enough to let the place speak for itself.

    A single hero film to anchor the brand — mid-century desert mood at brand-film pace, cut to work as the front door of the website and the top of every paid unit.

    The Ask

    Dunes is a mid-century desert hotel with a strong point of view and a smaller media budget than its competitive set. The team needed a hero film that could do brand work and performance work at the same time — establishing tone before a guest ever saw a rate.

    The Approach

    We shot on-property with our partners at Digital Love Studio across two full days — early light on the pool, long shadows on the block walls, and the slow choreography of an afternoon in the desert. Edit, color, and sound were tuned to feel unhurried and lived-in.

    Outcome

    A hero film that gave Dunes a distinct on-screen voice from launch — and a deep bench of moments the team keeps cutting down for social, paid, and on-property use.
