NyeemInc. is a Manhattan-based independent film, television and podcast production company founded by Nyeem Greenwood — an MFA filmmaker from City College of New York whose debut film Off Book won the 2022 Chantal Akerman Award, was an official selection at Cannes Short Film Corner, and travelled the international festival circuit from Amsterdam to Korea.
The old site didn’t reflect any of that. It felt like a generic film school template — functional but emotionally flat. It told you what the company did. It didn’t make you feel what the company was about.
Read every page of the old site. Watched Off Book. Listened to Brothers & Sisters. Pulled the whole crew list from the CCNY thesis archive. Mapped what was missing — the company story, the festival recognition, the upcoming TV slate — against what was over-emphasised on the old site.
Restructured to seven pages: Home, Films, TV, Podcast, About, The Circuit, Contact. The Circuit became its own page rather than a footnote — festival selections deserve a dedicated home. About now leads with Nyeem’s biography and the Chantal Akerman Award, then the full crew, then the company philosophy.
Warm cream paper background with deep rust and ink black accents — like a film poster from the 1970s. Italic Fraunces for titles, Cabinet Grotesk in tight uppercase tracking for everything else. Marquee ticker across the top of the hero, listing project names like a cinema billboard.
One hero statement: “Stories from the screen.” Then a featured film block for Off Book with the YouTube embed. Then a four-column grid linking out to Films, TV, Podcast and About. Then The Circuit row showcasing four laurels. Built for someone visiting for the first time to feel the scope of the company in under 15 seconds.
Each film gets its own section with a synopsis, key crew credits, festival selections, and an embedded trailer. Seven films total, from Off Book down to the Hinge spec commercial. Honest about which are completed and which are in development.
About page covers Nyeem’s biography from Atlanta stand-up to CCNY MFA, the Chantal Akerman Award, the full production crew, and the company philosophy. The Circuit page lists every festival selection chronologically with the laurels at full size.
