A film production brand inspired by editorial storytelling.

Spindle is a distinctive film production studio — more like a record label than a traditional production company — attracting creatives and clients through a shared passion for telling compelling human stories.

They needed a brand identity and website that could express this perspective and set them apart in a crowded market.

We developed a visual language inspired by art house documentary magazines — using bold typography, colour, and editorial devices such as pull quotes to bring their stories to life. The website extends this thinking, creating an immersive, magazine-like experience designed to keep audiences engaged for longer.

Spindle are a film production studio who focus on ‘unique human perspectives’. They asked us to design a website to show it — and blow the competition away.

“We created a digital design system based on the visual language of art house documentary magazines to communicate Spindle’s unique journalistic voice.”

The design system ensures films always look their best and importantly, stand out from competitors websites which all looked the same.

Just like in an art house magazine, bite sized quotes are used rather than lots of detail copy, greatly increasing engagement.

Our work included the Diversity and Sustainability strategy and implementation. A fundamental part of who Spindle are.

Animations and interactions communicate Spindle’s zeitgeist attitude.  

Designing Sales Presentation templates ensure an engaging and consistent brand experience where it matters most.

Business cards have in-person screenings covered.
