Custom residence beneath Bell Rock at golden hour
AUSTIN  ·  DALLAS

You build at a level your marketing doesn't show.

THE FILM — 1:22
01The problem

Nobody hires the better builder. They hire the builder who looks better.

03The studio

Two filmmakers,not an agency

Senu Studios makes property films and founder stories for the people who build Texas.

We're not an ad agency, and we won't chase leads for you. We put you on camera and let the right client recognize you. It's slower than running ads. It holds up better.

We both shoot and we both cut — there's a whole filmmaker in each city, not half a team waiting on the other one. The people you meet on day one are the people who make your films, and you can reach either of us directly.

Austin & Dallas

One of us in each metro. A reschedule around weather or a pour isn't a crisis, it's a text message.

Two of us

The people who show up are the people who own the work. Nothing is handed to a junior or sent offshore.

Every stage

Site, framing, finish, reveal. Most of what makes a build worth seeing is gone by the time it's finished.

04What we make

Four things

Property films

The finished build, filmed the way it was designed to be seen. For your site, your listing, and the next client deciding what your name should cost.

Build documentation

The house will still be there. The build won't. Monthly capture from dirt to reveal — the one asset money can't commission after the fact.

Client testimonials

The couple you built for, in the house you built them, saying what the year was actually like. Nobody decides on craftsmanship alone — they decide who to trust with eighteen months of their life.

Founder films

You, on camera, saying why you build the way you do. At this level no one is choosing between floor plans — they're choosing whose word to take.

05How it works

Three steps

01

One shoot day

We come to the build. Finished homes, framing, you on camera — one day, worked around your schedule instead of ours.

02

A month of content

The main film, 8–12 short cuts, and stills — edited, captioned, and ready to post everywhere your buyers look.

03

We ask what happened

Before the shoot we agree what we're watching — inquiries, saved posts, who mentions it on a call. After it publishes we ask, and we tell you the truth about what we see.

06Who we are

The two of us

Senu is two filmmakers who got tired of watching good work get marketed badly.

Between us: property films, founder documentaries, brand work for resorts and the people who run them. We started Senu because the same thing kept happening — someone would build something remarkable, then hand it to whoever was cheapest.

Ryan, filmmaker and editor, shooting on location
Ryan Filmmaker & editor · Austin

Twelve years behind a camera, including director of photography on a feature documentary. On your site he's the one deciding what the light is doing before anyone presses record.

Adrien, filmmaker and editor
Adrien Filmmaker & editor · Dallas

Ten years shooting and cutting — events, weddings, retreats, documentary. He's the one who finds the story in eighty hours of footage after everyone's gone home.

We only take what we can shoot and cut ourselves

Two people can only shoot and cut so much in a month, so we hold the roster where the work stays good. It's arithmetic, not a posture.

07The price

Stated plainly

Most studios make you get on a call before they'll tell you a number. Here are ours.

Start here — The Proof Day
$4,500

One day on your site. You get the film, a stack of vertical cuts for social, and the stills — first cut back to you in seven days.

One day, one price, nothing recurring. If you carry on into a build, it comes off your first month in full.

Then — The Build
$6,500 / month

One capture day a month, dirt to reveal. Where the build stands, cut short and posted every month — and at the end, the property film, made from a year nobody else was standing there for.

Three-month start, then month to month for as long as the build runs. Your proof day comes off month one in full.

Billed monthly because that's how a build runs — paid as it goes, not as a lump sum against a house that isn't finished yet. Stop whenever the build stops.

If it isn't right
You don't pay

Half books the day and covers the cost of shooting it. The balance is only due if you'd publish the film.

We re-edit once. If it still isn't something you'd put your name on, you owe nothing further and we don't use it either.
