In the hills above Alicante, a young Swedish rider saddles the one horse she has left. A portrait of a bond built over nine years, and of what survives when everything else is given up.

Some stories you don't just watch. You feel.
Cinematic documentary and brand films, made to stay with you.
I'm drawn to real people and the emotion beneath the surface of their lives, told like cinema.
In a world of frictionless, synthetic images, I care about the friction of something real, and what a story leaves behind.
Ajay Mittal is a director based in Surrey, UK, with experience creating films for global brands. His work moves between commercial polish and intimate documentary, always drawn to the same thing: real people, real feeling, and the bonds that words rarely hold. That instinct led to Heart Horse, his cinematic portrait of a rider and the one horse she can still ride.

Watch the trailerSome stories deserve more than a phone in the rain. I make bespoke cinematic films for the rider and the horse who changed everything, for the story worth keeping the way it felt. A single, lasting piece, shot and cut like the films above.
