Lifestyle & Branding Video Production
Cinematic films for hospitality, fashion, and lifestyle brands that connect with audiences and drive demand
Lifestyle brands thrive on experience
the feeling of being there. At SMP Media, we specialize in cinematic films that capture that emotion, whether it’s savoring wine at a Virginia vineyard, discovering a community that feels like home, or escaping to a spa with iconic New York City views. Our lifestyle and branding videos don’t just show products or places
they immerse audiences, spark desire, and drive action.
Southwest Mountains Vineyards
Southwest Mountains Vineyards hired SMP Media to create a cinematic brand commercial showcasing their breathtaking property in Virginia. We captured the vineyard’s rolling hills at sunrise, the architectural beauty of their tasting rooms, and the craft of their winemaker, Boela Gerber, who brings South African expertise to Virginia’s growing wine industry. The result blends tradition, innovation, and passion — inviting audiences to experience the vineyard firsthand.
“This video didn’t just show our wine — it captured the heart of our vineyard.”
QCNY Spa (Governors Island, New York)
QCNY is a luxury spa on Governors Island, just south of Manhattan, offering an immersive wellness experience with some of the most breathtaking views of the city skyline. SMP Media was invited to capture the spa’s unique atmosphere — from tranquil indoor spaces to its open-air pools overlooking New York Harbor. Our film blends architectural beauty, guest experiences, and the serene energy of the location, positioning QCNY as a must-visit destination for both locals and international travelers.
“SMP elevated our brand beyond expectations — it feels like stepping into the spa itself.”
Old Trail Village (Crozet, Virginia)
Old Trail Village is a thriving community in the heart of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. SMP Media partnered with Old Trail to create a comprehensive branding campaign that highlighted every facet of life in the community: from championship golf to vibrant local restaurants, schools, and family-friendly spaces. Our team cast both professional actors and local residents to authentically showcase the lifestyle, while delivering a high-value suite of films and visuals that elevated the community’s presence across web, social, and real estate marketing. The result was a cinematic portrait of Old Trail as not just a place to live, but a place to belong.
“SMP Media delivered massive value — not only in the main brand film but also in the supplemental social content and marketing materials that continue to drive interest in Old Trail.”
