HILTON CURIO COLLECTION
BRAND ANTHEM VIDEOS
CAPTURING THE CURIOSITY AND BEAUTY
OF INDEPENDENT STYLE

 
 

In 2017, Hilton launched an incredible collection of luxury, boutique hotels called the Curio Collection. I directed their first brand film, meant to position the brand both to travelers and independent hotel owners who may want to join the collection. By 2019, two years after our original brand film for Curio Collection by Hilton, the brand had grown substantially, and they re-approached us to tell a new story that supported their evolved positioning.

We hit the road again, this time focused on piquing the curiosity of different traveller types, while telling a more global story in an elevated, immersive style. Telling these stories meant many time zones, with camera and crew set ups as diverse as the places we visited. An unforgettable journey for a beautiful luxury travel story. See both versions of the story below.

A beloved still from the original 2017 shoot. Too good to lose. Ciao, bella!

One of my all time favorite stills. I can take credit for the set up, but that sky was all mother nature.

Did I mention that this video featured Hilton’s first ever gay couple? Hurray, progress.
