In September, the Hill Tribe Productions team travelled across the United States to film an ambitious new video series for MoonLake Therapeutics, a Swiss biopharma company at the forefront of innovation in inflammatory skin disease.

The result: a cinematic, human-focused exploration of medical science — a hallmark of our corporate video production, healthcare communications, and medical storytelling expertise.

A Global Story Told Through Local Landscapes

From the bustle of New York City to the stillness of the Blue Hills outside Boston, from the architectural marvel of Dallas’s Klyde Warren Park to the serene depths of an aquarium dome, this international shoot was a creative journey across four distinct environments.

Each location was chosen not just for aesthetics but for symbolism — echoing MoonLake’s mission to look beyond the surface and explore new depths of understanding in inflammatory disease.

Our work in international video production is as much about finding meaning in place as it is about technical precision. The process begins long before the cameras roll — scouting, researching, and designing each setting to serve the story.

Boston’s Blue Hills: Nature and Reflection

In Boston, we filmed within the rolling landscape of the Blue Hills Reservation — a quiet, expansive backdrop that represented reflection, resilience, and renewal.The open skies and natural textures of this environment allowed our subjects to speak about the human side of scientific progress — the patience, collaboration, and care that drive medical innovation.

The choice of this location was deliberate: Hill Tribe Productions believes that medical video storytelling should capture more than data and dialogue — it should visually express the feeling behind the science.

Dallas: Building Connections Above the Freeway

Our next stop was Dallas, where we filmed in Klyde Warren Park — a one-of-a-kind green space built directly above a major freeway. The location embodies transformation and connection, bridging communities just as science bridges disciplines.

For Hill Tribe Productions, it perfectly symbolised MoonLake’s approach: bold, innovative, and built on connecting ideas that were once separated. The park’s modern lines and vibrant energy offered the ideal canvas for cinematic framing and thoughtful conversation.

This creative process — discovering environments that speak for the story — is at the heart of how we approach pharmaceutical film production.

Beneath the Surface: Filming at the Aquarium

One of the most visually striking sequences was filmed under the rippling blue light of an aquarium’s vast circular dome. With thousands of fish swirling above, the imagery reflected MoonLake’s commitment to seeing beneath the surface — literally and scientifically.

Filming in such a dynamic space required careful lighting, sound control, and camera choreography. Every shot was designed to balance natural wonder with the focus of an intimate interview.

For Hill Tribe Productions, it was a masterclass in turning complex environments into powerful storytelling assets — a cornerstone of corporate video production at the highest level.

Cinematic Medicine: Filming in New York

In contrast, our time in New York offered movement, architecture, and momentum. Filming beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, with the skyline rising in the background, we captured the energy of progress — the drive to innovate, to connect, and to move forward.

It was here that science and city life intersected most visibly, creating a compelling fusion of humanity and modernity.For our crew, it was a reminder that healthcare communications thrives when ideas are given a sense of place and emotion.

Bringing Humanity to Healthcare Storytelling

At Hill Tribe Productions, we believe that medical video storytelling must go beyond facts and figures. It’s about empathy, authenticity, and crafting a visual language that brings scientific ideas to life.

Working alongside MoonLake’s global team, our goal was to ensure that every frame felt real — that every expert’s passion for better patient outcomes came through clearly and naturally.

This approach turns complex pharmaceutical communication into something both credible and cinematic.
