Cinematic Storytelling
for Premium Brands
At YardBeyond, we create immersive, elegant films for premium brands. From renowned wine estates and luxury hospitality to ambitious brands defined by craft, heritage and experience, we capture the people, places and details that make them distinctive - turning what sets each brand apart into stories people can see and feel.
Partners in Prestige
YardBeyond is the premium brand arm of Yard B, a Certified B Corporation®, and a creative partnership between Lewis Darby and Will Riddell. We create cinematic stories for brands shaped by craft, heritage, place and experience.
Our work began in the world of fine wine, where, in partnership with Primum Familiae Vini, we have worked with renowned families including Domaine Clarence Dillon, Pol Roger, Antinori, Famille Perrin and Familia Torres. That experience has shaped a refined, human approach that now extends across luxury hospitality, beauty, lifestyle and other premium brands.
Whether creating a brand film, documenting an experience or building an ongoing bank of content, we translate what makes each brand distinctive into work designed to endure.
Portrait Films
Stories shaped around people
Famille Perrin
Exploring the soul of Château de Beaucastel through the words of the Perrin family. It is a story of terroir, uncompromising winemaking and the responsibility of passing a living legacy from one generation to the next.
Champagne Pol Roger
Exploring the philosophy of Champagne Pol Roger and the family’s enduring connection to its wines. It is a story of tradition, shared knowledge and the belief that true luxury is found not in ubiquity, but in simple moments of genuine enjoyment.
Pelegrims
Introducing Pelegrims, an English skincare and fragrance company creating products from wine grape extracts and native botanicals. Following its journey across the Kent countryside, the film captures a distinctly local and creative approach, taking ingredients quite literally from vineyard to skin.
Strategy to Screen
From defining the story to capturing it and putting it to work, every stage is considered as part of one connected process.
-
Clarifying the purpose, audience and opportunity before production begins, then shaping the story, creative direction and plan.
-
Cinematic, human stories that express the character of a brand through its people, places, craft and point of view.
-
Capturing the atmosphere, people and details that make an experience distinctive, with films and footage designed to retain value long after the event.
-
Looking beyond a single film to create cutdowns, social edits, stills and a wider bank of content from each production, with support to plan and manage how and when it is shared.
“The videos they create speak for themselves – evocative, sumptuous, beautifully shot with an engaging narrative arc. It’s not easy to capture the magic of wine on screen, YardBeyond do it effortlessly.”
