Our Mission

WE WANT TO CREATE A FILM THAT CAPTURES YOU AND YOUR LOVE.

At Frisson Films, we make bespoke-crafted wedding films under the creative direction of Chris Halili. We have over 8 years of experience in the video production space capturing brands and businesses in Sydney, as well as capturing many weddings and are incredibly proud of the work we have delivered over the years.

We are incredibly passionate in storytelling and authentically visualising those precious moments that cannot be recreated in any other way. Our approach goes beyond merely documenting your day; we aim to weave together the narrative of your relationship, highlighting the emotions, the laughter, and the heartfelt connections that define you.

We take the time to get to know you, exploring your personalities, your interests, and the little details that make your bond special. Whether it's the way you look at each other, a shared laugh, or a tender touch, we aim to capture those fleeting moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

As we work closely with you, we focus on your vision and incorporate your ideas to ensure that the finished films are what you envisioned. Together, we’ll create a film that is a true testament to your love, one that you and your loved ones can watch on repeat. Let’s embark on this journey together and turn your love story into a cinematic masterpiece.

Our Approach

Candid Storytelling

There is simply nothing worse than feeling awkward, stiff, and not knowing what to do with your hands.

Our core approach is to document and preserve. Your special day, your circle of people, your most precious moments.

The goofy dance moves, the belly-aching laughter induced by heartfelt speeches, the emotional ceremony moments.

All of those things make a timeless keepsake to be cherish for years to come.

Creative Director & LEAD DOP

Hey! I’m Chris!

I’m a filmmaker, photographer based in Sydney Gadigal. I’ve shot photo & video for weddings for over 7 years, as well as having shot many commercial projects for brands & businesses.

My drive and passion is derived from utilising the power of photo and video to elevate and amplify a message or idea.

When I’m not shooting, I’m working in the Australian screen industry working on projects ranging from emerging independent works to television programs like Australian Idol, The 1% Club, and The Masked Singer.

Outside of work, I’m an avid Formula 1 fanatic, looking for new shows to binge-watch, and playing my favourite video games.

Frisson Films works with a dedicated and tight-knit group of talented shooters and video editors who are not only highly-skilled in their craft but also genuinely passionate about what they do.

Our team is fully prepped and ready to expertly capture every detail of your special day, ensuring that no moment goes unnoticed.
