A View Beyond

Documentary 2026

Shot & Directed in India, Nepal and The Netherlands - Release Spring 2026

A View Beyond is a contemplative documentary that explores the deeper roots of the Yoga tradition, beyond its modern image, as a path to guide us inward, offering clarity, stillness, and reconnection in a world defined by noise and speed. In an era of rising mental health struggles and constant stimulation, the film sheds light on the exploration of our inner world—and how ancient traditions like Yoga still hold that potential.

Filmmakers Gijs de Ranitz and Djoa Lekatompessy journey through India, Nepal, and Europe to meet teachers, practitioners, and mental health professionals who speak to Yoga’s deeper roots and the inner transformation it invites. Alongside their own search, they explore how the spiritual essence of Yoga has often been lost or distorted in the West, reduced to posture and performance.

Through honest conversations, personal reflections, and immersive imagery, A View Beyond offers more than a cultural or historical lens—it invites viewers to consider the role of inner work in a time of widespread disconnection.

Trainmore

Strength goes beyond the gym.

Strength training isn’t just physical. It’s mental. It’s about how we show up, within and without. In a society dominated by fitfluencers and physique-focused marketing, the new Trainmore campaign aims to shift the perception of strength, positioning strength training as a gateway to focus, vulnerability, and self-love. Inner strength for the outer world. Because in the end, strength goes beyond the gym.

Natuurmonumenten

Giving nature a place at the table

Nature doesn’t have a seat at the table. As a symbolic counterpart to the political conference table, Natuurmonumenten placed their own nature table in the Veluwe. A place where rushed politicians are invited to sit down, reflect and debate the future of this country. We were asked to highlight this Nature Table in a film. Since we know politics and climate change can be quite complex topics, we aimed for an understandable, emotional angle. Through the walk of a granddaughter and her grandfather, the film explores what is at stake, and for whom. We launched the film on the day the new coalition was inaugurated. And asked them a disarmingly simple question: Will nature live forever?

Save the Night 2024 Campaign

Every idea starts in the dark.

In basements, backrooms, and behind closed doors—nightlife has always been a spark for change. But ideas only make a difference when they’re seen, heard, and shared.

This campaign celebrates the power of creative ignition.
From a single flash to full expression, we follow an idea as it breaks through the dark and into the light of day.

Because for the night to thrive, ideas need space—and support—to come alive.
Save the Night x ADE.
Fueling ideas that keep the culture moving.
