Strellson.
WE ARE INDEPENDENT.

The film is a mini-documentary created in collaboration with Stan and Future Frank to celebrate Strellson’s 40 years of Swiss craftsmanship. For the campaign, Strellson outfitted wingsuit pilot Matthias Wyss with a custom wingsuit, and we follow him as he flies through the Swiss Alps.
The film revisits Strellson’s original claim to fame: the iconic Cross Jacket, originally constructed from surplus military and aviation materials.

THE BRIEF
Our task was to develop a film concept that showed both the creation of the wingsuit and Matthias’ jump. The film needed to highlight Swiss craftsmanship while showcasing the sport of wingsuit flying.

OUR TAKE
We saw an opportunity to create something personal and cinematic. Rather than focusing solely on the jump, we aimed to build tension and emotional depth by documenting the preparation, anticipation, and vulnerability surrounding it.
The film was produced in collaboration with Future Frank, and the decision to scale the crew down to the bare minimum came early. But that also meant creating a more intimate and experimental creative environment.
