CINEMATIC PRODUCTION AGENCY
creating high-end films and visual systems
for brands
СROSS X
for positioning, advertising
and growth
From brand films and campaigns to product motion, editorial storytelling and investor narratives — we help brands communicate
with clarity, impact
and cultural relevance across markets
Formed through the collaboration between London-based CrossBorder Film and Bodo Studio 86, based in the South of France and embedded
within Monaco’s luxury ecosystem, the agency brings together industry-level filmmaking with artistic direction and strategic brand positioning.
Operating across London, Monaco and international markets, Cross x Bodo develops projects that go beyond production — shaping how brands are perceived, positioned and experienced.
We don’t create content. We build perception through cinema.
PRODUCTION x CREATIVE DIRECTION
CrossBorder Film brings international production expertise and a deep understanding of cinematic language shaped within the London film industry.
Bodo Studio operates within the luxury and cultural ecosystems of Monaco
and international markets, developing projects at the intersection of art, brand strategy and contemporary culture.
Together, Cross x Bodo creates a unique model — combining execution
at the highest production level with a strong creative vision and access to high-end markets.
From concept to final image, every project is built as a coherent system —
where strategy, aesthetics and storytelling work as one.
