SQSP
A TALE AS OLD AS WEBSITES
For the 2026 Super Bowl, we enlisted Oscar-winning Emma Stone to tell a cautionary tale of the consequences of not getting your domain name.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos at Superprime, the films were shot over two days on black and white 35mm film at Warner Brothers Leavesden. The set build was a sprawling brutalist design100% practically built by Oscar-winning production designer James Price, who also constructed a miniature for the exteriors. And yes, Emma did actually break dozens of laptops and yes we did actually set them aflame.
Cinematography was masterfully helmed by Robbie Ryan. Our VFX partner One of Us brought the miniature to life using footage captured on the English shorelines by VFX supervisor Adam Azmy, which can also be seen in the set’s skylights.
Color was honed in by Greg Fisher at Company 3 London, who also helped us with finishing. Sound design was done by Oscar-winner Johnnie burn and mixed by Austin Ferreria at Wave Studios NY. Music was composed by Jerskin Fendrix. And, of course, photography was captured by Squarespace’s in-house photographer Craig Reynolds.
Working with Yorgos’s feature team was a once-in-a-lifetime experience I won’t soon forget. It reminds me that the best work can be done when people trust each other and enjoy working together.
