The neon-drenched streets of Sin City not only captivated our imagination but also set the stage for the visual and narrative tone of our short film. The film's distinctive voice-over style and dramatic lighting became the cornerstone of our storytelling approach. Inspired by Sin City’s electric atmosphere and daring narratives, our film encapsulates the essence of those wild nighttime adventures, where the line between ordinary and extraordinary blurs.

3. Pulp Fiction (1994)

4. Birds (1963)

Hitchcock’s Birds teaches us the art of suspense and the brilliance of subtle acting cues. In the film, ordinary moments are spun into thrilling mysteries, reminiscent of the unexpected allure of the night itself. The Eclipse wallet, with its enigmatic glow akin to the black and white shades of the film, captures that essence flawlessly. It becomes a symbol of venturing into the unknown, illuminating paths yet to be explored with a touch of Hitchcockian intrigue. Inspired by the film’s masterful suspense, our wallet embodies the thrill of embracing the darkness, transforming uncertainty into an adventure waiting to be discovered. Just as the characters in Birds confront the unexpected, the Eclipse wallet invites you to embrace every shadow and revel in the mystery, making every night an extraordinary tale of the unknown.

5. The Great Gatsby (2013)

In the glimmering nights of Jay Gatsby's extravagant parties, we found not just glamour but a celebration of life that resonated deeply with our vision for the Eclipse wallet. Much like the lively characters who danced under the starlit skies, our wallet embodies the spirit of those who revel in the night, who embrace the magic that comes alive when the sun sets. Inspired by the large nighttime party scenes from The Great Gatsby, the Eclipse wallet becomes more than a mere accessory—it's a companion for those who like to live during the night, dance the night away, and illuminate the darkness. The wallet's design mirrors the effervescent energy of Gatsby's soirées, capturing the essence of a night filled with music, laughter, and endless possibilities. As the wallet lights up the night, it becomes a symbol of the vibrant souls who find their true essence in the nocturnal hours, dancing through life with an undeniable, radiant glow.
