RESTAURANT DOM

The client is DOM (DEUS OPTIMUS MAXIMUS), a new restaurant on Bali. Italian cuisine, European-level service, and a team that put a great deal into the opening. The brand film had one job: convince the viewer that this is real Italian food — not an interpretation of it.

Our solution was a glass of wine. The viewer steps inside it — and lands in the history of ancient Rome: its grandeur, natural ingredients, character. That's how we told the story of Italian cuisine through imagery, not words. The final scene: a woman with a glass, an evening, ease. Everything that needed to be said was already said.

The restaurant itself was built from real photographs — it was crucial to capture the interior accurately and convey its scale. No invention — only what's actually there.
