Orzel Films is committed to building a new golden era of independent cinema — one defined by analog truth, human energy, and the real chemical alchemy of motion picture film. We shoot every feature on 35mm film.
Not as an aesthetic gimmick — but as the foundation of our identity. Film is not a format for us — it is the worldview. The weight, the grain, the color density, the discipline, the permanence. Film demands intention. Film demands mastery. Film produces images that cannot be counterfeited by digital.
Our vision is to become the premiere global destination for elevated genre cinema shot on real celluloid — a home for bold original voices, breakout discovery, and films designed to last. Orzel Films is not chasing trends. We are building legacy.
Our mission is to develop, produce and release bold, elevated genre films — crafted with cinematic precision, story-first discipline, and shot exclusively on 35mm to ensure timeless visual permanence.
We exist to serve a growing global audience who craves originality, authenticity, and genuinely new experiences — not nostalgic remakes or algorithm-predictable templates.
Orzel Films strategically operates within low-to-mid and high independent budget ranges — designed for maximum creative freedom and high-ROI performance, allowing institutional partners and financiers to invest in projects engineered to stand out in the marketplace.
We partner with distributors, streamers, theatrical exhibitors and global sales agencies who believe in cinematic identity — where the medium matters, where the director is an artist, and where film is not a trend, but a force.
WHY WE SHOOT ON 35mm FILM
Orzel Films produces every feature on 35mm film because the medium is the message. Analog image-making carries a weight, a physics, and a visual integrity that cannot be replicated by digital sensors.
35mm imposes discipline. Every frame has value. Every take has intention. The result is stronger filmmaking — stronger performances — stronger audience impact — and stronger asset value for financiers.
Film also offers a long-term investment advantage. Physical negative stored properly can outlive every digital format that exists today. While technology will constantly update codecs, resolutions and delivery standards — film remains the archival gold standard.
For Orzel Films, 35mm is not nostalgia. It is brand identity. It is artistic truth. And it is a premium differentiator — elevating our slate in a marketplace oversaturated with disposable digital content.
