THE ZEMBLA FILM

DIRECTOR-LED Short Documentaries & campaign Films

WHAT IS A
ZEMBLA FILM?

A Zembla Film is a flagship piece: the film you put on your homepage, lead a campaign with, or use to anchor a season.

It’s built with narrative discipline so people don’t just see what you do. They feel it.

Most projects land between €2,500–€6,500, depending on scope (shoot days, locations, archive, and delivery needs). If you’re working within a fixed cultural budget or grant structure, share your range and constraints—I’ll propose the cleanest scope that still holds quality.

Delivered as one flagship film—or a short series—depending on what you’re launching. Most projects also include a small set of cutdowns for social, subtitles when needed, and web/social exports.

No. Raw footage isn’t a finished product. We deliver final masters, plus any agreed cutdowns and exports.
You can use it across your owned channels: website, social, newsletter, presentations, and press   If you need paid advertising, broadcast, or large paid media campaigns, we’ll confirm that up front and scope accordingly.

Usually 2–4 weeks from shoot to final, depending on scope and feedback speed. If you have a fixed launch date, we can prioritize. Just flag it upfront

Typically 2–6 minutes, depending on the story, but sometimes longer (or shorter). The goal is the right length for attention & meaning, so there is no fixed runtime.

Revisions are structured to keep the film sharp and on schedule.

You get two rounds:

  1. Rough cut — story, structure, pacing
  2. Fine cut — trims, titles, polish
 

Additional rounds are available if needed, billed separately.

 

  • 50% to reserve dates + begin pre-production

  • 50% due before final delivery 

For larger scopes, we can split payment into milestones (book → shoot → delivery).
