“Full Circle”

We enjoy beating the drum for innovation stories. Innovations that have positive environmental impact carry a special meaning to us as filmmakers. 

Smak produces a series of client stories for steel manufacturer Outokumpu, centering around their low-emissions product Circle Green. Smak´s inhouse capabilities make us a creative partner that our varied clients feel confident to directly approach with their communication needs. Scriptwriting, copywriting, editorial and journalistic content are all in our service portfolio, alongside our production and postproduction expertise. 

Full Circle is a tour through the world of Swiss household appliance manufacturer V-ZUG. We wanted to tell the story through the viewpoint of a young person, but leave all conclusions to the viewer.
