Same Time Tomorrow, Singapore
Working with Same Time Tomorrow never really felt like working with a “brand” in the usual sense. It always felt more like stepping into a family gathering that just so happens to make really beautiful table linens.
They’re three sisters running the brand together, and from the very beginning, we all knew one thing — overly polished, studio-style content just wasn’t them. It would’ve looked nice, sure, but it wouldn’t have felt honest. And honestly, people can tell when something feels manufactured.
So instead of trying to create these perfect, picture-book scenes, we leaned into real life. Real conversations, real family moments, real messiness. The kind of moments you normally see right before or after the “actual” photo.
Most of the time, I was just following them around while they naturally did their thing — setting the table, adjusting little details, talking nonsense with each other, laughing halfway through a sentence, getting distracted. The best moments almost never came from direction. They happened in-between.
And that’s the thing I’ve come to realise when filming founder-led or family-run brands. People connect more deeply when they can feel the humans behind the product. Not everything has to scream “marketing.” Sometimes it just needs to feel familiar.
The table linens were always part of the story, but never forced into the spotlight. They simply existed within the moments — family dinners, hosting friends, small celebrations, everyday meals. The products made sense because they were being used the way they were meant to be used: naturally.
Over time, you could see that approach paying off. Their customers started sharing their own table setups, family meals, cooking moments, little celebrations at home. It stopped feeling like people were just buying products. They were buying into a feeling. A lifestyle. A slower, warmer way of gathering around the table.
And honestly, that’s probably my favourite kind of content to create.
Not content that feels like an ad.
Content that feels like people.
