Disciplines
Beyond the Screen
We believe that some stories are not staged — they are witnessed. At Square Frame Picture, Beyond the Screen is our documentary-driven discipline devoted to nature, environment, and the realities that unfold beyond constructed frames.
This practice centers on long-form photography and videography rooted in observation. From landscapes and ecosystems to slow, unfolding natural processes, our work captures moments that exist independent of the camera — stories shaped by time, terrain, and transition.
Beyond the Screen exists where filmmaking meets presence. Each project is approached as an act of immersion — spending time within environments, following light, listening to space, and allowing real moments to guide the narrative. We focus not on spectacle, but on sincerity.
Through Beyond the Screen, nature becomes not a backdrop, but a voice — documented with restraint, respect, and intention.
How We Do It
1
Beginning with observation
Our process starts without scripts. We study the environment, its rhythms, and its stillness before shaping a visual direction.
By allowing stories to emerge rather than be imposed, we preserve authenticity and emotional truth.
2
Documentary storytelling
We work with natural sound, evolving light, and unscripted moments to construct narratives that feel lived rather than produced.
From wide environmental frames to intimate details, our visuals are built to reflect the quiet complexity of the natural world.
3
Crafting with patience
Nature does not perform on command. Our execution is guided by time, presence, and adaptability.
Through careful shooting, thoughtful editing, and tonal continuity, we shape documentaries that feel immersive, grounded, and enduring.
