Gestalt Media House is a boutique production studio in Vancouver. Film, stills, and creative direction under one roof, for lifestyle, fashion, hospitality, and beauty brands.
Work
Selected work.
A short list, on purpose. Each project ran as a full production: concept, shoot, and post from the same desk. See the full archive.
Studio
The whole is the point.
Gestalt is the idea that a whole is perceived as more than the sum of its parts. We named the studio after it because that is how good work behaves. Strategy, performance, sound, stills, and pacing stop being separate deliverables and become one thing that lands.
We are a boutique studio run by two cofounders, Kevin Cruz and Hira Vin. Between us: film production, creative production, photography, and marketing. The people who write the treatment are the people on set, and the people in the edit — nothing gets handed off, so nothing gets lost between departments.
We work with lifestyle, fashion, hospitality, and beauty brands, and we take on a limited number of projects at a time. Boutique means selective and hands-on. That is the whole pitch.
How it works
-
01
Core Truth
What the work has to be about before a camera comes out. One idea, agreed in writing, that every later decision answers to.
-
02
Raw Craft
Production. The footage, the frames, the sound, made by a small senior crew with the idea in the room.
-
03
The Unified Edit
Assembly. Cut, colour, sound, and stills finished together as a single object that moves someone.
Pricing
What it costs.
These numbers are what a small senior crew costs. Both cofounders run concept, shoot, and post, so there are no account layers, no hand-offs, and nothing on the invoice you cannot point to on screen. All figures are in Canadian dollars.
Single Day
from $4,500 CAD
One shoot day. Stills or motion, one location, concept through delivery.
Campaign
$12,000 – $30,000 CAD
Multi-day or multi-format. Film and stills together, creative direction, crew, and full post.
Programme
$30,000+ CAD
Ongoing production across a season or year. Quarterly shoot days, building a library rather than buying a shoot.
These are starting points, not quotes. Final scope sets the number, and that happens on a call, not on a form. Read how the number gets made.

The fastest route to a real number is fifteen minutes on a call. Useful to know beforehand: what it is for, where it will run, and roughly when.
