DOCUMENTARY — AUG 2025 — FIELDNOTES CO.

The digital nomads: how remote work is changing people's lives.

OVERVIEW

Five countries, one question.

Fieldnotes Co. wanted more than a brand film — they wanted a document of the moment their product lives in. We followed fourteen remote workers across five countries, asking what home means when work fits in a backpack.

CHALLENGE

Real life does not take direction.

Shooting across time zones with non-actors meant plans changed daily. Our two-person field units stayed light and embedded for weeks, capturing moments a bigger circus would have scared away.

From the production.

APPROACH & OUTCOME

Small units, long stays, honest film.

We embedded instead of parachuting in. Weeks of trust-building gave us access no schedule of fly-in interviews could — and the 68-minute cut premiered to a full house before its streaming release.

  • 68-minute feature plus 6-part episodic version
  • Festival premiere and streaming distribution
  • Client's most-watched brand asset of the year
