We believe that combining innovative processes, business strategy and a creative perspective is the secret to success when it comes to brand challenges.
The year it all began. Reservoir was established.
Passionate Producers banded together to make TVCs
Guang, a 14-minute short film won the Best Film Award at BMW shorties
The success of Guang propelled us to produce 2 game-changing branded short films — Petronas Merdeka & Hari Raya and Samsung: The Sparkle Project featuring Yuna.
Our body of work grew overnight and agencies/clients started knocking on our door.
Content is King
While we are often engaged to do commercial work, we are always itching to create our own content, namely short films Sanzaru, Sunflowers, Seliseh and Bird on a Wire.
Festive Brand Films
We kept producing one chart-topping brand film after another for major festivals in Malaysia; Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, National & Malaysia Day, Kaamatan & Gawai.
Realistic Dreamers
We boast a panel of film directors who are some of the industry's top talents — Quek Shio Chuan, Ismail Kamarul, and Philip Rom Kulleh.
Effective Magicians
Whilst they can't change the weather (they are not certified bomohs after all), they can do pretty much everything else, to ensure the production process is smooth-sailing all the way. They are Sabrina Wong, Kavi Granayson and Sze Kay.
Views and counting
All our festive works garnered a lot of eyeballs on Facebook & Youtube
