a want in her_film poster

poster
_what
poster for the feature documentary, a want in her.
_how
director myrid carten reached out after seeing our work on carol nguyen's no crying at the dinner table. myrid had just completed work on her first feature film, a want in her, and wondered if we might make a poster for it. the film is a documentary about myrid's relationship with her mother and her mother's struggle with alcoholism and madness. it hits hard and we were keen to work on it. 

after some discussion about how myrid wanted to communciate with people about her film, we presented a range of ideas for a poster. myrid chose the direction you see here, citing also particular painting styles that resonated with her. caspar then painted 24 portraits of myrid's mother, nuala, with acrylic paint, and presented the 9 best ones to myrid. together they then arranged the portraits in an order that suitably echoed the film's narrative. as a final touch myrid asked that we christen the poster by pouring a bottle of cider – her mother's chosen drink – all over it.

during the making of the poster the film was selected for IDFA. if you're headed to the festival, the film is well worth your time.

bbd_uncertainty is delight_record sleeve

cover wrapped in plastic
_what
record sleeve for the los angeles-based band, big black delta
_how
jonathan bates of big black delta asked that we might make the record sleeve for his new LP. the record is called "adonai", which means "lord of all lords". it's quite a thing to listen to.

the finished recordings have existed for a year or so now, and for this reason the album artwork has been something that jon and caspar have had time to work and rework as they saw fit. the final result is a science-fiction-tinged salvador dali, wassily kandinsky and max ernst-esque digital painting.

the cover here for the album's first single, "uncertainty is delight", is a taste of what's to come. you can listen to the song here.

seeing through the darkness_film poster

_what
poster for the documentary, seeing through the darkness.
_how
montreal-based writer / director simon plouffe reached out to us after he saw our poster for lucy kerr's family portrait. simon had just finished his fourth film and was looking to make a poster for it. the film is called "les yeux ne font pas le regard", which roughly translates into english as, seeing through the darkness. a documentary on blindness caused by armed conflicts, the film follows the lives of several people blinded in different ways in different countries, and attempts to illustrate how they experience the world now.

the film is beautiful, moving and difficult to watch. we were excited to make a poster for it. caspar and simon came up with the concept for the poster on the phone together, and then after a few rounds landed on the version you see here.

the film will have its world premiere at the 2024 montreal international documentary festival, where it will compete for the magnus isacsson award.
