CLOUD9
Cloud9 is the movie I keep directing in my head: deep blue skies, headlights cutting through the dark, the right person in the passenger seat, and a cloud somehow agreeing to take us all the way to the moon. No schedule, no reason to come back too quickly. Somewhere between the romance, the music and the impossible scenery, there is also that quiet little tragedy following the frame, reminding me that even the most beautiful moments never stay forever. Which, annoyingly enough, probably makes them even more beautiful.
Poster Survival Guide
🌞 Don’t Sunbathe It
Posters love light… just not that much light. Keep it out of direct sunlight unless you’re into that washed-out, vintage look.
🤔 Frame It, Maybe?
Frames aren’t just for rich art collectors. They keep your poster flat, clean, and safe from the horror of accidental coffee spills.
🤓 Dust, Don’t Crust
A gentle wipe with a dry, soft cloth once in a while is enough. No, your mop does not qualify. And please… don’t use cleaning spray. It’s paper, not your kitchen counter.
🎢 Roll Responsibly
Moving? Roll it loosely and stick it in a cardboard tube. Don’t fold it. Folds are forever, just like bad tattoos.
🥵 Climate Control (For Posters, Not Your Mood)
Keep it in a dry, cool place. Humidity makes posters wrinkle like raisins. Basements and bathrooms? Hard no.
♻️ Recycle the Right Way
If, for some unholy reason, you stop loving it... don’t trash it. Donate, swap, or recycle.
For the Detail Freaks
🏋️♀️ Paper Weight
Heavyweight 200 gsm (a solid 80 lb), because floppy posters are a tragedy.
🔖 Paper Finish
Smooth matte, zero glare. No accidental mirror selfies here.
🌳 Sustainability
FSC-certified or equivalent, so your conscience can relax.
🖼️ Frame Size (Framed Option)
Chunky enough to last (20-25mm thick), sleek enough to look good (1014mm wide).
👷♀️Protection (Framed Option)
Shatterproof plexiglass, because accidents (and clumsy friends) happen.
🪞Ready-to-hang (Framed Option)
Comes with the hanging kit, so you can skip the assembly drama.
🪄On-Demand Magic
No warehouses, no dust. Printed fresh and shipped just for you.
What do I actually get?
🌅 Unframed Poster:
You get the artwork, printed in high quality, rolled up safely in a tube. No frame, no extras, just pure visual goodness waiting to hit your wall.
🖼️ Framed Poster:
Same high-quality print, but this time it comes already living in a sleek frame (ready to hang the moment it arrives).
Ship & Flip
🧐 CAN I RETURN MY ORDER IF I CHANGED MY MIND?
Yep! EU law gives you a 14-day “cooling-off” period. So if you unpack your poster and decide it’s not love at first sight, you can send it back within 14 days. No hard feelings.
🤔 HOW DO I START A RETURN?
Just drop an email at hello@distinctroom.com with your order number. We’ll send you the return address and next steps.
🤨 WHO PAYS FOR RETURN SHIPPING?
Changed your mind? You cover the return shipping.
Got a damaged, misprinted, or wrong item? That’s on me. I will replace it free of charge or refund you in full.
💔 MY POSTER ARRIVED DAMAGED. WHAT NOW?
Snap a quick photo and email it to me (hello@distinctroom.com) within 30 days. I will sort it out with a free replacement (or a refund if you’d rather). Easy.
🚚 WHAT IF MY ORDER NEVER SHOWS UP?
If your package takes a holiday and gets lost in transit, I will send you a new one. No extra cost, no stress.
💸 WHEN WILL I GET MY MONEY BACK?
Once your return lands back with me (or you show us proof it’s on the way), I will refund you to your original payment method. Usually within 14 days, but often faster.
♻️ CAN I SWAP FOR ANOTHER DESIGN INSTEAD?
Not directly. Since everything is printed on demand, the quickest way is: return your poster → get a refund → place a shiny new order.
💁♀️ ARE YOU POSTERS CONSIDERED PERSONALIZED?
Nope! All designs are my own creations, not customer-customized. That means they are returnable under EU law. If we ever launch personalized prints, those would be non-returnable (but we’ll make that super clear).

(floating)
Before Cloud9 was a poster, it was probably a song in my head. That’s usually how it starts. I hear something and immediately ruin the simplicity of it by imagining an entire universe around it: colours, lights, places, people, scenes that somehow feel nostalgic before they have even happened.
Music and visuals have always been the same language to me, just spoken differently. One goes through the ears, the other through the eyes, and both somehow end up in the exact same place.
In that particular film, the sky is impossibly dark blue and everything feels slightly too beautiful to be real. I jump in a car with my one and only and we leave whatever reality expects from us somewhere behind. No directions, no sensible plan, naturally.
A cloud picks us up (duh) and takes us all the way to the moon. We disappear up there for a while, somewhere nobody can call, interrupt or ask what time we are coming home. Just us, the car, the silence and a private little corner of the universe. Extremely unrealistic, obviously. Which is probably why I like it so much.
(tragedy)
There is always another side to the film. I have always been strangely drawn to that part: the empty streets, the blue hours, the scenes where nobody really says what is wrong because somehow the silence says it better.
I love that kind of darkness a little too much. Not because I want everything to be sad, but because tragedy has a way of making things feel more honest, more beautiful, more permanent. Happiness is lovely, obviously, but apparently my brain also needs rain on the window and a devastating soundtrack playing somewhere in the background.
Maybe that is why I have always felt like my own life has been followed by some kind of silent tragedy. Even when everything is beautiful, part of me seems to notice how temporary it is. Maybe that is what keeps pulling me toward darker stories: they understand that love, nostalgia, happiness and sadness are rarely separate things.
Sometimes the most beautiful scene in the movie is beautiful precisely because you already know it cannot last forever.
Sound design.
This one is dark, cinematic, beautiful, all of the above. Trust me, I tested it in my car:
