    Director Kasra Farahani Takes Us On A “Home Tour” Of The Fantastic Four’s Abode For Zillow

    By SHOOTNo Comments845 Views

    In a collaborative effort between creative content company Chromista and Zillow, a new cinematic campaign blending Zillow’s virtual home tours with the look and style of Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” takes center stage. To celebrate the film’s release on July 25, Zillow has launched an immersive campaign featuring two custom spots–“Home Tour” and “Pitchman”–set entirely within the home of the Fantastic Four and directed by the feature film’s production designer, Kasra Farahani.

    Drenched in charming 1960s retro-futurism, the campaign oozes nostalgia and innovation. From character styling and home features to the sonic landscape and transitions, every detail is crafted with care. Enter Jack West, a fictional Zillow partner agent who breaks the fourth wall to guide viewers through The Baxter Building–“the home of tomorrow.” In a nod to Zillow’s virtual tour capabilities, West highlights era-defining amenities like color TVs, panoramic views, a sunken conversation pit, an indoor barbecue,
    and ample space ideal for everything from scientific experiments to cosmic adventures.

    The campaign cleverly integrates character cameos like the Human Torch soaring past the iconic floor-to- ceiling windows. With direction from Farahani and cinematography by Jess Hall, alongside contributions from the film’s own art department, the Zillow spots authentically mirror a canonical Marvel short.

    “I’ve been fortunate to help shape the worlds of some of Marvel’s most iconic films. With this spot for Zillow, we’ve crafted a narrative that offers a wealth of insights into the home of the Fantastic Four,” said Farahani. “We’ve also given fans a glimpse into the inner workings of Reed Richards’ innovative, architectural mind. I feel this spot will stand as a small but meaningful extension of the film’s story and world.”

    Here is the “Home Tour” spot:

    Top Spot of the Week: Director Daniel Warwick’s Short Film “Ritornerai” Is Like A Painting That’s Subject To Interpretation

    Thursday, August 13, 2026

    Daniel Warwick directed and teamed with producer Jakob Rühle to conceive of and develop this short film titled Ritornerai (Italian for “you will return”).

    “Three days before an actual commercial shoot, my producer [Rühle] and I realized that we had a camera, a location, an actor, a pair of Lederhosen and a few beers to brainstorm,” Warwick said. “Suddenly my producer yelled ‘Objectophelia’ and the idea was born.”

    Known for his big and bonkers, epic visual storytelling, Warwick’s Ritornerai--albeit more meditative than some of his other work--does not disappoint. It is a wholly original and offbeat story with an exquisite scenic backdrop that leaves plenty of room for interpretation.

    Filmed in the Italian Dolomites, Ritornerai features a man in Lederhosen who appears from behind a bush and enters a Grand Hotel where he begins to touch the beautiful haptics and textures of the whole place. Seemingly overtaken by objectophelia, we observe him enjoying the sensory experience deeply and emotionally. He enters the big ballroom and sits by the piano where he utters the film’s only line, “Ritornerai.” He approaches a giant painting of a landscape and eventually we discover that he is actually in the painting.

    “Ritornerai has inspired many different interpretations,” said Warwick. “People let their minds wander a bit. Love it or hate it, I really like that it doesn’t want anything from you. For that reason, maybe it’s a little more artful because people can take away whatever they want.”

    The production company on Ritornerai was Zauberberg Productions. Director Warwick is handled by production house O Positive for commercial representation in North... Read More
