Coldwater makes brand films, commercials, and documentaries — from the first treatment to the final color grade.
A brand film isn't won in the pitch deck — it's won in the opening shot. Coldwater builds every treatment around the three the audience asks first.
The first frame sets the audience before a word is spoken. We design the open around who's watching, not what's easy to shoot.
Tone, pace, and casting earn the next sixty seconds. Documentary or spot, the voice has to feel like a person, not a brand.
Every cut points at one idea. We'd rather land one thing than gesture at five — that's what a rewatch is made of.
A few films across brand, commercial, and documentary.
The anchor film that says who you are — concept, shoot, edit, grade.
Broadcast and social spots, cut for every length and platform.
Real stories, told with care — for brands, founders, and causes.
Animation, titles, color, and sound — the finish that makes it sing.
“They turned a vague brief into the best film we've ever put out — approved in two rounds, delivered the day they promised, and better than the storyboard.”
You do. On delivery you get the graded master, the exports, and full usage rights for the agreed channels and term. Raw footage and project files are available as an add-on if you want them archived on your side.
Two rounds of notes on the cut are built into every quote — that's the median it takes us to lock. Extra rounds are billed by the hour, but we'll always tell you before the meter starts.
A social spot starts around £8k; a full brand film with a multi-day shoot and original score runs £30k and up. We scope to your budget first and tell you honestly what it buys before you commit.
We're usually booking two to three weeks out for a shoot. From locked brief, a social spot is about three weeks and a brand film six to eight — rush timelines are possible, priced accordingly.
A logline, a deadline, and a rough budget are plenty to start. No pitch decks required — we reply within two days.
