Custom residence beneath Bell Rock at golden hour
AUSTIN  ·  DALLAS

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

THE INTRODUCTION — 0:49
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.

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 just 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. The entire process is told through story, and the client's reaction to the work is captured.

04What we make

Four things

The house

Property films

A finished custom home at dusk, seen across the motor court

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

Hands spread across a set of plans on a folding table at a framing site

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.

And the people who built it

Founder films

A builder photographed at golden hour, looking out over his site

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.

Client testimonials

A homeowner mid-sentence during an interview in her own living room

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.

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 make good work, tell the story straight, and turn it into business for the people we shoot.

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 — and exactly what lands in your hands.

Start here — The Proof Day
$4,500
  • One film2–3 minutes — your pick of the four below, agreed before we shoot.
  • Ten cuts15–45 seconds, vertical, captioned.
  • Forty stillsGraded, web and print resolution. Yours outright.

First cut in seven days. Final in fourteen. One day, one price, nothing recurring — carry on into a build and half comes off month one.

If it isn't right — you don't pay

Half books the day; the balance is due on delivery. We re-edit once. If it still isn't something you'd put your name on, you owe nothing further — and if it's you on camera, we don't use it either. A man should be able to bury footage of himself.

Then — The Build
$6,500 / month
  • One dayOn site each month, dirt to reveal — worked around your schedule instead of ours.
  • One film60–90 seconds — where the build actually stands.
  • Ten cutsVertical, captioned, ready to post.
  • 25 stillsGraded, delivered with the film.
  • At the endThe property film, 3–5 minutes — included. Cut from a year nobody else was standing there for.

Three-month start, then month to month, billed as the build runs. If the build stops, we pause and hold your slot — you don't pay for a month we didn't shoot.

Add to any shoot day
  • $1,500A second film — any of the four, same day.
  • $1,500A third.
  • $1,000A second location, same day.

The camera's already up, so these cost a fraction of a booked day. Most builders take the property and the founder film together — $6,000, one day.
