With Airbnb, we crafted travel films that celebrate the daily lives of local people across the globe. We designed a new tone and aesthetic by thinking of these films as love letters to the countries we visited.

With a small documentary crew, traveling across three continents, we developed an emotional and journalistic series of films inspired by Chris Marker’s revered essay films.
