Attitude
Aggressive is an attitude. Story first and technique agnostic, we bring filmmakers, designers, VFX artists, and technologists under one roof to create disruptive, emotionally impactful work across live action, design, and immersive experiences.
Led by Grammy Award-winning directors Alex Topaller and Dan Shapiro, Aggressive is a filmmaker-led studio creating design-driven storytelling for global brands, artists, and original IP.
We embrace each project intensively and in all aspects, from direction to live-shoot to design and post production, ensuring that every frame is Aggressive.
Our work has been commissioned by some of the world's biggest brands and cultural icons, including Amazon, Google, Netflix, Boeing, Mercedes-Benz, Michael Jackson, Pharrell, and The Beatles.
Recognized by the Grammys, Cannes Lions, MTV, D&AD, Ciclope, and the Webbys, our work has been exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival, SXSW, the BFI London Film Festival, the UN General Assembly, and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
