Spinelli Kilcollin’s Live Now Polish Later Film Celebrates Year of Fire Horse
Spinelli Kilcollin released a 35mm short film, "Live Now. Polish Later.", casting equestrians on the icy plains of Kazakhstan to mark 2026 as the Year of the Fire Horse.

Spinelli Kilcollin launched a short film titled "Live Now. Polish Later." that honors 2026 as the Year of the Fire Horse in the Lunar calendar, pairing its jewels with horseback riding across the icy plains of Kazakhstan. The campaign is explicitly described as a short film shot on 35mm and frames freedom and movement as the visual vocabulary for the brand’s pieces.
The film’s opening mood is captured in the brand’s own copy: "In Kazakhstan, there are no fences. The land goes on forever, unbroken and unowned. And the horse and rider gallop through it in a moment of freedom that never ends." That sentence, posted on Spinelli Kilcollin’s LinkedIn, is echoed in the Instagram caption: "And the horse and rider gallop through it in a moment of freedom that never ends. Live your life. Polish later." Together the copy and the 35mm format suggest a tactile, analogue approach to imagery that foregrounds motion as much as ornament.
Production credits are extensive and platform-specific. LinkedIn lists direction by @shakhnazaire and @professionalquestions, while Instagram credits direction to @shakhnazaire and @dwyer.kilcollin; @shakhnazaire is common to both credits. LinkedIn supplies a fuller crew roster: Creative Director @erickadelrosario; Producer @kamillajassulan; DOP @aralbaydastan; 1st AC @ignatveselov; 2nd AC @yan.poul; Unit Production Manager @067.raiva; Horse Director @western.kz; Technical Director @imanmadi.production.rental; Gaffer @kakimbekov; Electricians @dimali1991 and @rus_07_t; Playback Technician @sagdat_sktst; and Flight Head Operator Vlad Zazherilo.
On-screen talent is likewise named in the brand’s social posts. The campaign cites its muse as @ansasoul and lists supporting talent including @gulfara.bolatkyzy, @aitimova, @minura7117, @mullipios, @aishishkaa, @elisssiya and @professionalquestions. The social-credit block on LinkedIn places those performers amid the production team, reinforcing that the riders are both the film’s subject and its statement.

Spinelli Kilcollin distributed the film via its own social channels; the LinkedIn organization page displays 11,197 followers and carries a "Year of The Horse" label while Instagram appears under the handle @spinellikilcollin. The campaign’s two taglines appear in brand copy: the official title "Live Now. Polish Later." and the variant "Live your life. Polish later."
Key production and product details remain to be clarified in future materials. The film is described as shot on 35mm and as a short film, but runtime, production company designation, and specific jewelry-item credits were not included in the available social posts. The differing director credits between LinkedIn and Instagram also bear confirmation. For now, Spinelli Kilcollin has presented an austere, cinematic tableau – horses and riders racing across Kazakh plains while the brand’s jewels move and catch the light - staking a dramatic, movement-first claim for the Lunar year.
