Venkay, the creative partnership of French directing duo Vincent Lacrocq and Kristell Chenut, emerged from a serendipitous encounter in NYC during 2012’s hurricane Sandy when the pair found themselves stranded together amid the chaos. It was a meeting that would shape the trajectory of their journey together.

The name-pronounced vi-en-ke-represents a fusion of distinct talents, a synergy born from the shared experience of weathering the storm and finding inspiration in its aftermath. With a passion for imagery and culture, the surge of creativity they have experienced ever since has propelled them to constantly defy conventions and push the boundaries of visual storytelling.

From the streets of their native Paris to the beaches of Bali and the townships of India, Venkay’s artistic commitment is to not only observe the beauty in these places but to capture the essence of the people who inhabit them. By seamlessly blending the technical with the abstract they aim to create a visual language that transcends conventional boundaries.

Venkay’s expertise in travel and hospitality has seen them work extensively for well-known luxury resorts such Aman, helping to relaunch the brand’s identity. Their versatility allows them to thrive both on small scale productions as well as large commercial projects for clients such as Mandarin Oriental, Valentino, Dior, Zara and Chandon.

Director and Filmmaker Giorgio Bruni started his creative journey as a painter and student of fine art. A desire to meet new people and engage with clients on more eclectic projects sparked his transition into filmmaking. He gained early recognition directing music videos (thanks to having friends play in bands), which led to him earning a nomination for Best New Director at the 2012 UK Music Video Awards.

Through his action-packed and fashion-forward work, Giorgio offers a glimpse into the lives of individuals within the context of sports, fashion, and contemporary culture. The juxtaposition of raw, human moments with carefully composed visuals is what makes his style so distinctive.

Charming and relentlessly enthusiastic by nature, Giorgio is a master of creating good energy on and off set with his infectious personality and inspiring professionalism. With a keen focus on sports commercials, his clients include Nike, Adidas, Vans, Sony and Real Madrid for Nivea.
