WHAT WE DO

01

Cinematic Reenactments

Scenes, characters, and environments built from scratch for periods, places, and events that cannot be filmed, or where footage does not exist.

02

Pitch Films & Previs

Mood teasers and proof-of-concepts that make a visual idea tangible before a production budget is approved.

03

Custom Sequences

Purpose-built cinematic sequences for narrative-driven video, developed to a specific script rather than assembled from stock.

HOW WE WORK

01

Brief & Development

We start with your brief, script, treatment or rough cut. Narrative structure, tone, look and period detail are defined and approved as stills before any production begins.

02

Production

Shots are built to the approved direction, with consistent characters, environments and lighting across the full sequence.

03

Edit, Sound & Delivery

Editing, pacing, sound design, and finishing. Delivered as a finished sequence, or as components that drop directly into your existing edit.

About

MIGUERELLI is an independent cinematic studio led by Michael Dautz, working with production companies, agencies, and publishers worldwide.

We direct and produce films end to end, from creative direction and visual development to editing and sound, using production methods that make visually ambitious material achievable at a fraction of the cost and production time of conventional shoots.

Our focus is on stories that are difficult, expensive, or impossible to shoot: worlds that no longer exist, places that cannot be reached, and moments that were never filmed. The craft decisions, including light, texture, pacing, and sound, are what make them believable.
