The Seminal Reality Series Begins Again.

THE HILLS
Creative Direction, Film & Photo,
Show Packaging

In 2019, MTV brought the Hills back to the small screen with THE HILLS: NEW BEGINNINGS. Many of your favorite familiar faces were back but it was clear that these reality stars were at a different stage of their life. This was a more mature portrayal of The Hills and our creative needed to follow suit while still retaining the glamour and sultriness of the original.  

For our main title and key art photo shoot we rented an expansive loft north of beach wood drive for 2 nights for an elegant 30 something dinner party.  For the main titles, vignettes were captured throughout the house, providing some supportive storytelling textures as day turns to night, a not so subtle nod to the passing of time. Lastly, a remixed version of Natasha Bedingfields iconic UNWRITTEN was used to thread the familiar with a twist narrative. 

For the Key art, Ellen Von Unwerths photography supported an incredible range of tonality, from verite to gallery, allowing us to create assets for multiple seasons.
