Cyclonative was pushing one model in particular, and the brand behind it was pushing the same bike. The film had a single job: make that model the hero, not the catalogue.
Filmmaker · Photographer · Editor
Shot like film,
Shot like film,
cut to sell.
I direct, shoot, cut and grade brand films and photography — product, automotive, property and the brands that live on image. One person, the full chain, from the first frame to the final grade. Based in Madrid, shooting across Europe.
Every brand has one moment worth filming. The work is finding it, and holding the frame.
Full chain
Direction, camera, edit, colour and delivery. One contact, one aesthetic, no agency markup.
Spanish & English on set
Native Spanish, working English, and enough French to move through a shoot in the Alps.
Marketing brain
I came from ads and web before the camera. The images are built to move a product or fill a calendar, not to win a gallery.

Signature film & twelve loops

One model, made the hero
A commissioned brand film for an urban e-bike, shot in Brussels: product, rider and street cut into twenty seconds. Shot on location rather than in a studio, then edited and graded end to end.

Street locations across Brussels: product detail, rider in motion, and the bike parked in real places — no studio, no set.
Cut and graded in DaVinci Resolve, matched shot to shot so the whole city reads as one place and one light.

Born in the wild, cut for the city
A self-initiated spot built to prove one thing: a single operator can hold a premium automotive look — interior detail, snow road, aerials and grade — from the first frame to the last.

04 — About
Cristian Torres.
I'm a filmmaker and photographer based in Madrid, with years of shooting behind me between Colombia and the French Alps — automotive, product, property and lifestyle brands. I started in digital marketing and web, then moved behind the camera — which means I don't just deliver files, I deliver images that have a job to do: fill a chalet, launch a menu, sell a listing, carry a campaign.
Most of my work is solo or with a tight crew: I direct, shoot, edit and grade. Clients get one contact, one aesthetic, and a turnaround that doesn't need three approval rounds between departments. Largely self-taught, entirely accountable.
I run NØRVA Collective, a cinematic studio for alpine and outdoor brands, in creative partnership with HELD. I work out of Madrid and travel for shoots — open to commissions, retainers, freelance days with agencies and production companies, and the right in-house role.
