Smart Casual

Smart Casual is not only a name, it is a way of doing things Importantly, smart and casual also comes with socially responsible.

Smart Casual is a film production company, freshly founded by acclaimed and experienced industry duo - producers Rūta Petronytė & Justinas Pocius. Smart Casual is not only a name, it is a way of doing things - carefully, thoroughly, and undoubtedly professional but not without occasional confetti - great by the book, increadible, when new rules have yet to be written. We call it “creative discipli

ne” - tested and perfected for your needs: from co-production to production service. Even though extremely precise on the action in the frame and beyond, the studio does not limit itself with particular genres, lengths, geographies or topics. No matter the shape, Smart Casual, is all about the substance - becoming a trusted partner for both young and experienced creators, exploring relevant, new, brave and eye-opening ideas. Here we believe, that it’s not only about getting your job done, but also, working in a way that would leave the place better than before us. Accordingly, every step of our practice is guided by the principles of diversity, sustainability and integrity.
