Cinematic Branding — 2024
CIRI 50th Anniversary
Client: Cook Inlet Region, Inc.
Problem
CIRI required a flagship cinematic anchor for their 50th anniversary—a narrative piece capable of bridging 50 years of land claims history with a multi-generational vision for the 'Next 50'.
Approach
A precision-engineered narrative journey through CIRI's ancestral lands and corporate legacy. The strategy prioritized archive-grade 8K acquisition to ensure the final master serves as a permanent cultural artifact.
Execution
Principal photography across Southcentral Alaska and the CIRI land base. We utilized 8K RAW pipelines for maximum dynamic range across varying extreme environments. Collaborative edit with NOSEV Media; post-production mastered in HDR.
Outcome
Anchored the 50th Anniversary gala with direct engagement for 9,000+ shareholders. The piece established a new visual standard for CIRI's storytelling and was integrated into the permanent historical archive.
