Song Saa Private Island
Song Saa Private Island, 1:15
What they asked for
Song Saa needed a film that matched how the property actually presents itself — sustainability, privacy, architecture and the surrounding marine environment — rather than another generic resort reel. The shoot became part of a small portfolio we were producing across a handful of standout Cambodian properties that same month.
Beyond the main resort film, Song Saa wanted a dedicated piece for Saraan Sanctuaries — the wellness brand they'd just launched — built around their Raw Renewal signature treatment, plus a run of short vertical edits for social.
How we shot it
Two nights on the island, arranged around tide and light rather than a fixed shot list — the schedule flexed with weather and staff availability throughout. Cambodia's drone restrictions meant working with Song Saa's own aerial footage rather than flying our own.
Song Saa's team helped shape the final shot list themselves, adding their Botanist Experiences — afternoon tea, forest foraging, a walk to the raw bar, the jungle-to-jar workshop — along with bioluminescence after dark and the Foundation's coral restoration work. Every edit went back to Song Saa for review before anything was published.
What one shoot produced
A full campaign from a single three-day shoot on the island. Song Saa also receives the selected raw footage for their own internal marketing use, with full usage rights for website, digital marketing and social — subject to their approval before anything is published.
