SPOTLIGHT:
LOST ARTS
LOST ARTS, a three screen, immersive film experience explores the art and culture of agriculture in the Hudson Valley. Beyond being a tool for education and a response to our current social and ecological climate, the film is a sensory celebration of the bounty of the Hudson Valley and the profound wisdom that has been unearthed and cultivated here for thousands of years.
By looking to the past for forgotten methods, techniques, and philosophies, today’s farmers have found more innovative, sustainable, and equitable ways forward.
FILMCRAFT
Inspired camera work and the written word combine to push documentary and marketing into the same space as feature films. Regardless of genre, our sole purpose is to make the audience feel something without ever realizing why. You never want to see the hand of the filmmakers, you just want to experience it.

STORYTELLING
Award-winning story-telling is the result of captivating the audience. It involves characterizing a feeling and what’s taking place within the confines of a frame–where the story exists. Yet, it’s more than just a visual frame, it’s the music, the sound of the environment, the direction in which the camera motivates it’s viewers and communicates a feeling.
