This short social film was created for Darwin Forest Luxury Lodges in the Derbyshire Peak District, capturing the feel of a real weekend escape with a group of friends. Shot in a 4:5 format for Instagram, the film is designed to feel natural, relaxed and believable, even though the entire piece was carefully scripted and performed by actors.
By blending authentic moments with a planned narrative, we were able to show exactly what makes a stay at Darwin Forest special: connection, comfort and the sense of unwinding together in a beautiful place.
Films like this are a powerful way for hospitality and leisure businesses to showcase the experiences they offer. If you want to bring your location to life on social media with storytelling that feels genuine (even when it’s crafted), I can help create something tailored to your audience.
