Shorter pieces and campaign films — brand micro-docs made to live on social and on the page.
Alchemy Pure
A founder story. Chris Regan and Jerry Peele had been neighbours in the hills above Millerton for fifteen years — one an artist who turned his eye to growing hand-crafted organic salad greens at Sky Farm, the other a former investor who rebuilt a run-down dairy into the respected Herondale livestock farm. Licensed to grow hemp since 2018, they went in together on a new idea: a cannabis farm run on the same natural-growing principles as their food. ephemeris was asked to tell that story — how two careful growers became one company — as a portrait of the people behind the plant.
Hudson Valley Letter Press
A founder story. Hudson Valley Letterpress — Foxy & Winston — is a one-woman studio in Hillsdale, where the British designer Jane Buck prints playful, bespoke stationery on her 1890s and 1920s Chandler & Price treadle presses. ephemeris was asked to tell Jane's story, and made a founder portrait that follows the work back to the hand and the machine. The film now lives on her own studio's About page.
Roeliff Jansen Park
Marketing films for Roeliff Jansen Park — a website piece plus event and donation cuts for social.
Village at the End of the Road
A documentary trailer. Village at the End of the Road follows Bay de Verde, a remote Newfoundland fishing outport that has lost half its people since the cod fishery collapsed in 1992 — and asks what future remains for those who stayed. ephemeris helped shoot the film and cut the trailer: a preview of the film to come, made to bring audiences in and help raise the funds to finish it.
