Double Agent

Double Agent is a cinematic spy-fantasy short film. A well-dressed woman moves methodically through a hotel room, deliberate in every gesture. She may not be who she appears to be at first glance…

We shot it intimately, as though the viewer is in the room with her, and kept the era undefined: modern with retro nods and timeless on purpose.

A narrative-led production created in-house at our Los Angeles studio.

Mood & Intent

A study in glamour, control, and quiet paranoia. Shot intimately, we stay close to Lola. Her rituals are punctuated by distant angles that suggest she may already be under surveillance.

Intimacy vs. Surveillance

Private moments—reading, changing, recording—are interrupted by voyeuristic viewpoints from behind curtains and across the hotel. The tension lives in this duality: Lola appears in control, but someone else may be watching just as closely.

Details & Time

Cigar smoke, a martini, leather, film, handwritten notes. Every gesture is deliberate. The era remains undefined—modern with retro nods—creating a timeless spy fantasy where style doubles as camouflage, and observation cuts both ways.
