01 — The brief

Mercato houses a dozen kitchens under one roof, and their socials showed none of it. They wanted one film that made the whole venue feel like a single experience worth crossing town for.

Food halls are chaotic to shoot: mixed lighting, moving crowds, a dozen vendors with different pride points. The edit had to feel like one appetite, not twelve ads.

02 — The work

Shot service-hours only — real steam, real queues. Cut to the rhythm of the room, vendor by vendor, and pulled vertical segments per kitchen so every vendor got their own reel from the same shoot.

One production, a full quarter of social content, and a hero film the venue now runs on every screen in the building.
