This is Grivel - About the Film
In 2020, Grivel defined their positioning, as well as their mission, vision and slogan: To each their own. They have now made a short film, which is in their view the best way to communicate all this. In their opinion, this is the best fit with today’s communication: internet, social media, low attention, busy schedules. To make this film, they have gone beyond their borders, and wanted to find a new way, a new fresh look and a new language, involving a team of people from cinema!
