Cinéma Vérité, literally film truth, was a style of film making developed by French film directors in the 1960’s. Their production techniques did not depend on star quality actors, sets, props, casts of thousands, special effects and big budgets which was the trend in Hollywood films then as now.

The Cinéma Vérité directors used non-actors, small hand-held cameras, and actual homes and surroundings as their location for a film. Cinéma Vérité was characterized by the use of real people (not actors) in unrehearsed situations. Filming was done with unobtrusive cameras so the subjects of the film would forget the presence of the camera and just be themselves. The filmmakers’ goal was to show life as it really is, using the film as his artistic medium.

This filmmaking philosophy has been at the essence of Soda Films’ work since starting wedding film productions over 10 years ago. Our passion for story-telling places the emphasis on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds.

We love what we do! We produce wedding films for couples seeking elegant, contemporary and stylish cinematography.
