Start with the problem, not the product.
Every commercial film specification begins with a complaint about a building: a floor that overheats, monitors nobody can read after 2pm, a glass line that needs privacy without losing daylight, or an entrance that has been broken into twice. Pick the problem and we will show the film families that address it.
