Project Overview
With a growing portfolio of original short and feature-length films, including Hope is Crying, Unrest, Lungs, III, i, Seagull, II,II, and Scorpions, Expand Films transforms powerful ideas into visual stories that move audiences.
Jack’s mission is clear — to create films that don’t just entertain, but expand perspectives.
When he approached SingleRange, he wanted a website that would do the same: a digital space that felt cinematic, modern, and deeply reflective of his craft.
What We Did
We designed and developed a WordPress-based website that gives Expand Films the digital stage it deserves — minimalist, immersive, and performance-driven.
Our work included:
Designing a visually striking layout using a black-and-white color palette inspired by Expand Films’ dramatic visual tone.
Developing dedicated showcase pages for each film, complete with trailers, stills, and background details.
Structuring the content to highlight Jack Esformes’ journey, creative vision, and production expertise in a clean, narrative flow.
Optimizing video performance and loading speed through smart compression and lazy-loading techniques.
The result: a cinematic website that mirrors the emotional depth and precision of Expand Films’ storytelling.
Client Challenges
Jack’s main priority was clear — the films needed to take center stage.
We had to design a layout that made his videos the focal point while maintaining exceptional site performance and fast loading times.
Balancing aesthetic storytelling with technical optimization required meticulous attention to both design and backend structure.
By optimizing for performance and employing a lightweight, media-forward framework, we ensured the site delivers a smooth, theater-like experience — without slowing down.
The Results
The new Expand Films website is a masterclass in simplicity, focus, and emotion — exactly what cinematic storytelling deserves.
Film-first design showcasing videos and trailers front and center
Performance-optimized architecture for fast loading and smooth playback
Minimalist black-and-white palette inspired by cinematic aesthetics
Fully responsive layout, adapting seamlessly to any device
Structured storytelling that highlights Expand Films’ creative journey and vision
The final product feels less like a website — and more like an interactive film reel.
SingleRange Insight
When design meets storytelling, restraint becomes a creative superpower.
With Expand Films, we learned that true cinematic design isn’t about adding more — it’s about focusing on what matters most: the story on screen.
