We film the arts.
Documentary films, series, and content days for
people and organizations with a mission worth sharing. Baltimore-based.
Real work. Real people.
No performance required.
The best thing I can do for you is show the world exactly who you already are.
Hire me for a day.
A content day for artist and organizations.
Hire me for a day.
I'll spend a few hours with you and your work, and turn it into a set of pieces you can actually use to get seen: two reels, three carousels, and ten stills.
Fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500), start to finish. Whether you're an artist with a show coming up, a gallery opening a new exhibition, or an organization with a mission worth sharing: if it deserves to be seen.
Need something bigger, more frequent? A film, a series, ongoing work?
Let’s talk about that too.
I got into this because I genuinely love watching people do what they're made for.
I'm Chris Irr, a filmmaker based in Baltimore.
I've spent over twenty years making documentary work — in Boston, in LA, and in places I didn't expect to end up. I've filmed people on big stages and small ones. The subject matter has always changed. The thing I'm looking for never does — what makes this person tick, and how do I make sure someone watching actually feels it.
I started Recreational Aesthetics Club because I wanted to do this work on my own terms. Recreational, because it should feel like play. Aesthetics, because it still has to be beautiful. Club, because I don't want to do this alone — and I don't think you do either.
Book a content day or tell me what you have in mind.
This goes straight to me, whether you're ready to schedule a shoot, have a film or series in mind, or just want to connect.
I'll reply within a day or two.
