_what
poster for the short film, pasta negra
_how
tim sutton introduced us to director jorge thielen armand. jorge had just finished work on a new short film set in venezuela and was looking for someone to make titles and a poster for it. we watched the film and leapt at the chance, for a thing of great beauty it is.

the film is called pasta negra. it tells the story of a family—a grandmother, a mother with child and her sister—trying to cross the border into colombia. the photography in the film is such a thing to behold that only upon a second viewing were we able to pay attention to the story.

we presented a range of ideas to jorge, and ended up making two posters for the film. the first poster you can see here, which caspar made in the berlin studio with a wig, masking tape, a printer, paper, a knife and a camera.

the film was accepted into the sundance film festival whilst we were working on the poster. if you have the means we can't recommend seeing this film enough.

_what
poster for the feature film, the heirloom.
_how
writer / director ben petrie asked that we might make a poster for his directorial feature film debut. we'd previously worked with ben on the poster for grace glowicki's feature debut tito, and were keen to see what kind of new material he and grace, as partners, had put together this time.

the film is called the heirloom and is a comedy set during the COVID 19 pandemic about a couple who decide to adopt a dog. ben plays the boyfriend in the couple who, also a filmmaker, decides to make a film within the film about them adopting the dog. the film is a wonderful piece of psychological self-analysis and we were keen to make a poster for it.

we presented a series of ideas and ben went with the one you see here. liza evseeva then painted the image just as you see it, and caspar took care of the layout and type.

title sequences for the feature documentary, union.
_how
producers mars verrone and samantha curley reached out and asked that we might design the titles and do a touch of motion graphics and compositing for their new documentary, union. the film, directed by steve maing and brett story, is about the amazon labour union who made history in 2022 by becoming the first group to successfully unionize anamazon warehouse in the united states.

caspar and josiah produced a range of graphics for the film including an animated title sequence, lower third text treatments, compositing retouches and various zoom call graphics and edits.

the film was selected for the 2024 sundance film festival whilst we were working on it, where it ended up winning the US documentary special jury award. it also has a beautiful score by robert aiki aubrey lowe. needless to say, it's well worth seeing if you have a chance. in fact you can rent it online right now.
