Tibbs and director Nico hit Detroit for an exhilarating Ford shoot featuring the F-150 Lobo and Mach-E. Sometimes a project calls for fresh scenery like California backdrops, chic hotels, and new places and faces, and other times there’s nothing better than homefield advantage. On our latest Ford project, we took over Metro Detroit and pulled the very best out of the city with an incredible crew and a client. There’s a different rhythm when the conversation shifts from “nice to meet you” to “how’s the family been?” That familiarity shapes everything on set and finds its way into the final cut.

New work from director Amara Untermeyer as she directs one of her most lively sets yet - filled with drummers, dogs, miniature donkeys, and an ice cream parlor. The set for our latest project was bustling. 

When the lights went down, it had us thinking more about the value of film sets and commercial making in general, as AI dominates headlines daily and seemingly threatens our way of life as creators.

Reflecting on what makes us human, and what AI can never replace, it’s the connection we share behind the glass. There has always been something special about assembling a team of artists and empowering them to bring their skill and vision to a set, shaping a unique outcome. 

The future is here, and we’re excited by the tools it has to offer, but it’s the human relationships, the trust, and the shared vision that ultimately shape the bottom line.

NEW WORK 🎬: Director Syd Ostrander brought a graceful touch to tell the story of Beautybird, focusing on the quiet, human moments that make this place feel personal. It’s about more than just beauty; it’s about confidence, care, and the way that inner strength can shine through.

Big thanks to the whole team for making something that feels as elegant as it is honest.

New films for the 2025 Corvette Academy, directed by Kurt Andrew Schneider.
Two wild builds. Two dialed-in teams.

First up: an interactive POV deep dive into the new modes and tech, shot on a massive high-pixel LED wall—designed to flex everything the new Vette is capable of.

Then we hit a custom elemental room, all angles and attitude, where our experts broke it all down—from performance to precision.

Big thanks to our wonderful agency and client partners and to our Detroit-based crew, who continue to prove nobody lights a car better.

We’re excited to welcome Syd Ostrander to the Tibbs, Inc. director roster. Syd’s work captures the quiet beauty of everyday life—the kind of moments most people miss if they’re not looking for them. With a sharp visual style shaped by years of on-set experience (starting at just 15), she’s crafted standout work for Atlantic Records, The Late Night Show, and Ford, to name a few.

She’s a thoughtful creative with a grounded perspective and a knack for finding meaning in the subtle details. We’re lucky to have her and excited for what’s ahead. Check out some of Syd’s favorite pieces—links in stories.

Everything is Better Together.

In a world full of reasons to go it alone, we believe in the power of collaboration. Creativity, energy, and impact that come from working together drive us forward.

Film, whether narrative or commercial, thrives on collaboration. It’s how we overcome challenges, create meaningful work, and amplify each other’s strengths. We love our teams and our friends; together, we are better.
