In close collaboration with longtime partner and director Jef Boes, we crafted a heartwarming one-take film for Libelle, celebrating the intimate simplicity of Christmas Eve. At ILA, we thrive on capturing authentic, meaningful moments, and this project is no different! The film focuses on the small, familiar gestures that make the holiday special—a table being set, presents being opened, a family coming together around a meal.
“The night before Christmas means dinnertime! It’s in the small things—a table being set, presents being opened, the whole family coming together to eat. Nothing fancy, just the warmth of shared tradition.” – Jef Boes
This film, made for Libelle, is a reminder that the true magic of Christmas lies as much in the preparation as in the celebration itself. Together, we brought Libelle’s vision to life with an honest, effortless charm that resonates deeply, marking another milestone in our creative partnership with Jef.
