ATEMI is a bold, creative production company based in Paris. We produce films and photography for the most demanding brands. Strong, high-impact campaigns, made to measure.
What drives us? We believe a brand deserves better than a standardised format, better than a message drowned in the algorithm, better than one more piece of content to scroll past. We craft images so they carry the power of cinema, the boldness of a true vision and the soul of a story that stays.
We don't churn out content. We build images that say something, that elevate brands, that stay in people's minds long after they've left the screen. From brand films to TV spots, from campaign photography to premium social content, many clients have trusted us with their image.
And we look after it as if it were our own.
From short-form content built for social to large-scale TVCs, we scale to the ambition of the project, never the other way round.
01 — Pre-production
We listen, we question, we challenge. The right image is thought through and planned long before the shoot.
02 — Production
Small mobile crew or heavy multi-country machinery, we bring in the best talent for every project. No compromise on image quality.
03 — Post-production
This is where the magic happens. We shape every image until it is exactly what it needs to be.

In 2026, ATEMI launches KIIAI, an augmented post-production studio that brings generative AI into its artistic workflow. A new creative space to go further and hit even harder. Without giving up what matters.
Our conviction hasn't changed: just because almost anything is possible doesn't mean everything is worth doing. AI opens up endless possibilities; our job as producers is precisely to choose, to frame, to give meaning. To bridge the power of new technology and the strength of a real creative vision.
We've surrounded ourselves with the best in the field: AI artists and directors, generative AI experts, to push the limits. New talent, new tools, adapted workflows, but always the same standard:
making images that leave a mark. That stay.
Not pitch-deck promises. Real commitments. Day in, day out.
If we take on the project, we don't let go. We invest in your brand as if it were our own. Present at every step, down to the last frame delivered. No shortcuts, no excuses.
What's at stake is your image, not ours. Ego leaves the studio the moment the project walks in. The best images come from honest collaboration.
We're agile. Responsive. Able to pivot without losing direction. Tight budget, last-minute request: we search, we adapt, we invent a tailor-made solution.
If it's not a “wow”, it's not finished. A considered frame, a thought-out light, a controlled mise en scène: every detail counts and every choice is deliberate.
ATEMI was born from the merger of two complementary skill sets: the director's artistic mastery and the producer's operational rigour. Together, we guarantee tightly run productions with flawless craft, from concept to final file.
That duality is our strength. It lets us hold high ambitions without ever losing control of the project. Creativity and production don't compete here; they reinforce each other.

Everything you want to know before getting in touch, and a few answers you hadn't thought of.
Another question?
Get in touchWe start with a conversation to understand where you are: the brief, the goals, the constraints. Depending on the project, we can step in at the creative concept stage or go straight into production. Once the framework is set, we propose an approach, align the teams and plan. Then: prep, shoot, post. At every stage, a single point of contact and full visibility on progress.
The earlier, the better. We can come in at the strategic brief, define the message, work on the creative angle and frame the project before anyone even thinks about the shoot. But if you arrive with an approved storyboard and a shoot date, we adapt. We plug in wherever you need us.
Not at all. We're used to working with existing creative teams. We're here to produce, not to take anyone's place. You have a concept? We bring it to life. An in-house art director? We collaborate. Our ego stays at the door.
It depends on the project. A piece of social content can be wrapped in a few days. A brand film with full prep is more like 3 to 6 weeks end to end. We also handle rush jobs and adapt, without ever sacrificing quality.
France and abroad. We deploy crews overseas: Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas. If the project calls for it, we go wherever we need to.
We don't only work with the big houses. What matters is that the project is clear and the ambition is real. We know how to make strong work on reasonable budgets, as long as we're involved early enough to optimise the choices. A tight budget isn't a problem. A vague brief with little means is harder.
No standard rate card. Every project is different, so the quote is built from the brief: what we shoot, where, with whom, and for how many formats. We're transparent about how costs break down. No surprises along the way.
Honestly, no, not without some context. A brand film can range from a few thousand euros to several hundred thousand. What we can do: a first 30-minute call to qualify the project, and we come back quickly with a realistic range.
Both. We work directly with brands' marketing and communications teams, and we're also a trusted partner for creative and media agencies. Either way, we fit into the organisation already in place.
Yes, and that's where we're most useful. We're not just here to produce, but to lay the foundations: positioning, storytelling, brand territory. Only then do we move into production. Atemi is an agency and a production company in one: a single team to think and to make.
