This past fall we had the please of joining Martha Stoumen wine for their harvest and witnessed her winery come alive! When Martha and her team approached us they were interested in creating a film that depicted Martha's winemaking values and practices and also encapsulated the sense of joy, nurture and creativity that goes into her work.
The task was a fun challenge for our Director Lindsey Hagen, to humanize the story behind the wine and demystify the ethos that goes into Martha's work. She sought to create an intimate, relatable piece that beings you into the heart and mind of Martha and invites moments of natural breath, wonder and enjoyment throughout. She wanted this to be a film that sensually draws in the viewer regardless of their knowledge of wine and lowers the barrier of entry through relatable anecdotes and humanistic moments that transcend wine and speak to a greater social ethos.
The film premiered at Oscar qualifier Santa Barbara International Film festival and we have partnered with Blundstone on a strategic release.
We absolutely fell in love with Martha Stoumen wines and we hope you will to
