New films are added continuously.

02 · How it works

Search. Discover. Create.

One direct flow from the image in your head to the reference you can build with.

Search.

Describe a mood, color, light, composition or scene in plain words. Combine natural-language search with precise filters to move from a loose feeling to the exact frames you need.

Discover.

Start with one strong still, compare visual matches and move through related films. Find references you would never have known by title, director or campaign.

Create.

Save the strongest frames in projects, folders and sets. Shape them into a board, PDF or presentation that is ready to share with the team.

03 · Built in

Built for the way ideas take shape.

a · Visual search

Search by the way you remember it.

Mood, color, light, composition - or the scene in plain words. The frame in your head becomes a useful query.

b · Look Match

One frame in. Similar looks out.

Start with a single still and follow visual similarity across color, light and framing.

c · Projects

Your references stop living in five places.

Save, compare and structure frames in projects, folders and sets while the idea is still moving.

d · Presentation

Move from reference to room-ready.

Build a clean PDF board, share a link or present fullscreen without rebuilding the work elsewhere.

04 · What changes

From scattered references to one creative flow.

Search for the feeling. Discover the visual language around it. Create the board that makes the idea clear.

06 · Why it exists

I spent years as a director and DOP, and the same thing happened on every job: the frame I needed lived in my head, and nowhere I could search.

It was in a film I half-remembered, a screenshot on an old drive, a tab I'd closed. Reference work meant rebuilding the same library from scratch, every pitch, every time.

Hold My Frame is the tool I wanted - a visual archive you can search the way you actually remember images. Built for the moment between a feeling and a frame.

- Thomas

For almost ten years, I've been working as a freelance treatment designer and visual researcher on international pitches. For me, a script becomes tangible the moment you find the right image. Fast.

Years of searching Vimeo, pulling stills, cutting loops and assembling references by hand shaped how I work. We wanted to streamline that process.

Hold My Frame is a curated database of high-end commercial film we've kept exclusively to ourselves until now. The workflow is the one we wanted for ourselves: find, refine, organize and share the right references faster.
