What it does
Film work needs a site that puts video and imagery first, and a general business theme rarely does that well. This theme is designed around the way filmmakers present themselves: a sleek, cinematic look, portfolio and gallery sections for films and behind-the-scenes material, and video embedding so trailers from YouTube and Vimeo play right on your pages. The layout is responsive, so your work displays properly on phones, tablets and desktop screens.
Setup is handled through theme settings that let you change colors, fonts and layouts to match your studio or personal brand, with no coding required. Contact and booking forms give clients, collaborators and fans a direct way to reach you. It suits a range of uses, from promoting a single new release to running a studio site or building out a long filmography, and it works with popular plugins when you want to add things like a shop or social media features.
Best for
- Independent filmmakers building an online portfolio
- Movie studios and production companies
- Directors promoting a new film release
