Prefer our work talking for us, but hey, here you are, so are we.
We are production studio, founded by Rūta Petronytė and Justinas Pocius.
For us Smart Casual is not only a name, it is a way of doing things - carefully, thoroughly, and undoubtedly professional but not without occasional confetti.
Even though extremely precise on the action in the frame and beyond, we do not limit ourselves with particular genres, lengths, geographies, or topics. No matter the shape, it is all about the substance - becoming a trusted partner for both young and experienced creators, exploring relevant, new, brave and eye-opening ideas.
