Brylo House

A cinematic brand film for Brylo House, set in a 1960s English-inspired world.

The brief

Brylo House, a specialty coffee café in Al Ain, asked us for a film and defined nothing else. So we built all of it: the idea, the 1960s English world it lives in, the cast, the wardrobe and the execution.

How we shot it

We kept the look 1960s English vintage in a warm palette, with strict period discipline. Flat caps, braces, a classic car and a pocket watch carry the era, and the coffee bag is shot in a bed of roasted beans. Exterior scenes meant a 6am call and a twelve-hour day to hold the light.

Cinematic brand film in Al Ain

Brylo House’s cinematic brand film was built in-house, from the concept and its 1960s English world to casting, wardrobe and direction, for a specialty coffee café in Al Ain. Photolicious is a food photography and food video production studio in Abu Dhabi, covering food styling, product photography, videography and film for campaigns in Dubai and across the UAE.
