The Opening
Scene.
Prepared by hand for Lee Liasi.
A short pre-call film, in six scenes. Made before our conversation Tuesday so the time we spend together is the most valuable 45 minutes of your week.
Lee, here's a 90-second message I recorded just for you.
Filmed this morning. I'd love you to watch it before reading the rest of this document.
What's in it: a hello, a few specific things I loved from your work, and the reason I'm excited about Tuesday.
Cinematic brand films for founders who refuse to look ordinary.
Tillett Film makes brand films, founder films, events and campaigns for premium brands. Striking visuals that complement your brand identity, sharpen authority, and make the right people pay attention.
Charlie writes, directs and edits. Every project is run personally, end to end, with a small crew assembled around the story. No agencies. No layers. Just the work.
Three recent pieces below.
Six questions, written for you after spending time with your work.
What it feels like to work with Charlie.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a brand film director who combines professionalism with personality.
In a world of AI slop content, Charlie is a breath of fresh air. His obsession with storytelling and creating timeless brand assets that truly resonate means he stands out against the wallpaper of generic throwaway marketing.
We create assets. How you grow businesses is you create assets. The authority we've built is an asset.
The first event had eight people. Now we fill rooms with 30 or 40. Retreats sell out.
Lee, thank you for the time you've already given this. Looking forward to Tuesday, and to seeing what we might make together.
One last thing. If there's anything else you'd like to share that would help me prepare for Tuesday, drop me a note below. Anything at all is welcome — context, brand documents, brand guidelines, links, or just a thought.
