We're thrilled to share this truly multimedia, multidimensional campaign we created for Emerson College last spring to celebrate the graduating class of 2021. This project spans high-key soundstage filming, use of 10 roof-mounted cinema projectors, drones, a ground camera crew, animation and motion graphics, and just plain ol' storytelling. It was a thrill to bring into being, from concept through execution, and we're grateful for creative clients who are willing to take visual and narrative risks - to great effect!
A Fallow Year
We created this lyrical short film in response to an ask from an institution beloved and meaningful in our lives: The Farm School, which is a 400-acre teaching farm in western Massachusetts. They needed a way to communicate to their donors and wider community all that had transpired within the Farm School during a 16-month deep pause, during which time they took on racial equity and liberation work head-on. They emerged a changed organization, refocused and deepened in their mission to Connect People To The Land.
Our goal was to present this deeply felt story of an institution, comprised of individuals committed to the process of evolution, and of doing better, always, in the face of new awareness. Our tools were poetry, bold and clear imagery, an evocative and original score intertwined with the visuals, rich sound design, and heartfelt interviews.
The Farm School, a teaching farm in western Massachusetts created around a concept of connecting people to land with kindness and integrity, asks deep and hard questions about race and justice that do not have easy answers. They took a year-long pause to seek their own blind spots and open their arms a little wider to work that is never finished.
