Good stories go beyond the surface.
Filmmaking and photography for food, wine, hospitality and agriculture
We leave room for real moments to unfold. Our observational approach stays close to people, place, and process, shaping what we find into films and photographs that feel lived-in rather than manufactured.
Wildly Simple works directly with in-house marketing teams. One studio carries the work from creative development through production and post, building the right team around each assignment so the process stays clear and the point of view stays intact.
Motion follows gesture, sound, and time. Photography distills the frame. When a project calls for both, we plan them together from the start while giving each form room to do what it does best.

Film, photography, and editorial work built to belong together.
Every assignment begins with what the brand needs now. A film. A photography shoot. A group of short pieces. A broader visual library.
We build the production around that need, then look for the opportunities that make the work more useful without turning the scope into a shopping cart. Motion and stills can be commissioned together or separately. A focused one-off assignment is welcome.
Based in Napa Valley. Working on location throughout California.
-
Narrative development, creative direction, and pre-production that give an assignment its shape before the shoot.
We work through what the piece needs to say, how it should look and feel, and what we need to capture. Scripts or interview frameworks, visual references, shot planning, location study, and scheduling support that direction.
-
On-location film and video production built around the people, products, processes, and places that give a brand its character.
Brand films, short-form videos, interviews, and product or process films can begin with a new direction or an established brief. Development, filming, and post can be carried through within one coordinated scope.
-
Commercial and editorial stills made on location, from people and process to food, product, and place.
A dedicated photography assignment can stand on its own or share a production with motion. We plan a gallery with the range to support campaigns, websites, launches, print, press, and brand communications.
-
Story editing, color, sound, and finishing for new productions and selected existing footage, interviews, and archives.
We find the structure in the material, shape the sequence, and prepare the agreed versions and formats. Some projects need a new production. Others begin with footage that already holds the story.
Built for in-house teams.
We work directly with marketing, brand, communications, DTC, ecommerce, and hospitality teams that need strong visual judgment and a clear path from brief to finished work.
A focused project is a good place to begin. When the relationship continues, familiarity adds context. Either way, the assignment should stand on its own.
