A Full Campaign for One of Southern California’s Most Extraordinary Estates
Chateau Plaisance is a French-inspired luxury estate within the guard-gated Sherwood Country Club community in Thousand Oaks – nearly three acres of formal gardens, grand interiors, statuary, a reflection pond, and sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains. There is not another property like it in the area, and likely won’t be again.
I was brought in by listing agent Sher Toor of Compass Real Estate to lead the full creative and production campaign. What began as a primary promotional film evolved into a multi-phase project spanning cinematic property films, interview-driven location content, and live event coverage for an exclusive private showing.

The Promotion Film
The primary film was designed to establish the tone and scale of the estate through visual storytelling rather than narration. The approach prioritized space, light, and movement – letting the architecture and landscape carry the emotional weight while building an atmosphere that felt immersive rather than purely informational. Shot across multiple setups including drone aerials, the film became the hero asset for the listing campaign.
