My latest project in Japan and the rise of documentary-style advertising

Hi Reader,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday! During that time, I was in Japan shooting the new campaign for Fay Archive.

After my experiences in Alaska and Canada, I spent two weeks between Hokkaido and Tokyo to tell the stories of five extraordinary people.

Brands are increasingly harnessing the power of reality to connect with audiences, and documentary-style storytelling is redefining modern advertising. Those who dare to reveal their soul not only stand out but also build trust.

Using a documentary style in advertising has a significant impact, engaging much more when it offers an authentic glimpse into the world. This approach, showcasing the people and stories behind a brand, creates a genuine connection.

I believe that adding a personal and transparent touch is key to building lasting trust with your audience.

And there is plenty of room for creativity when blending real-life narratives with a dash of writing.

This authentic approach, characterized by prevalent natural light, unaltered sound in post-production, and characters in their natural context, is what we are adopting in the Fay Archive campaign, coming out next winter.

In the meantime, I'd like to share with you some of my travel snapshots, hoping they can convey a bit of the charm I found in Japan.

Photography has always been an important part of my life, and Tokyo has been an incredible source of inspiration.

Talk soon,

Marco

BEHIND THE FRAME | (IM)PERFECT

(IM)PERFECT In 2026, even imperfection can be generated. A prompt is enough for an algorithm to give you film grain, a torn photo edge, a carefully engineered flaw. When Police asked me to work on imperfection, the real question wasn't how to represent it, but how to make it credible in a moment when even the flaw has stopped being a risk. What does it mean to be perfect in 2026? And what does it mean to embrace your own diversity? Not the aspirational perfection of glossy fashion, not...

BEHIND THE FRAME | A counter-guide to leadership

A counter-guide to leadership Carlo Cresto-Dina is one of the most important producers in Italian cinema. I met him in Turin for a conversation for the column I curate for Perimetro, exploring independent and auteur cinema. In 2009 he founded Tempesta, the production company through which he built one of the most recognizable catalogues in European auteur cinema. He has produced all of Alice Rohrwacher's films, from Corpo Celeste to Le meraviglie, from Happy as Lazzaro to La Chimera. This...

BEHIND THE FRAME | Making films is an act of faith

Making films is an act of faith Hello Reader,last January 2025 I was in Trieste for When East Meets West, one of the most important co-production forums in Europe. There I met Andrea Magnani of Pilgrim Film, and from that informal conversation a collaboration was born. I had a story in mind for a short film and turned it into a screenplay: a father and a daughter, the same summer road trip every year to Friuli. A distraction at the gas station, petrol instead of diesel, and they find...
