in hell with ivo_film poster

poster
_what
poster for the feature documentary, in hell with ivo.
_how
joey kuhn recommended us to his friend, the filmmaker kristina nikolova. kristina had just finished her documentary about the bulgarian singer / song writer / performer, ivo dimchev and was looking for both title and poster design for the project. the film is wonderful and has been selected to play in competition at dok.fest münchen.

caspar presented a range of poster ideas to kristina and after some discussion with ivo, they selected the direction you see here. the poster uses one of a series of photographs ivo had of himself, coupled with a hand-drawn, graphic treatment that reflected both ivo's tattoo aesthetic (as seen in his permanent tattoos and his additional, bespoke, body markings) and the film's overall message;  ivo asks his audiences during his live performances: "would you rather be in heaven with donald trump, or in hell with jesus christ?"

if you have the means do see this film. we cannot recommend it enough. watch the trailer here.

eighteen_film poster

poster
_what
poster for the short film, eighteen.
_how
writer / director lucy knox reached out to us after seeing our work on family portrait, a want in her and pasta negra. lucy wanted a poster for her new short film, eighteen. the film is a documentary piece that follows a group of australian 18 year olds as they discuss their lives and their feelings about the future. we were moved by the work and interested to see how it could translate into a poster.

lucy explained the different ways she sees the work and what she believes it's about. caspar then sent her a series of treatments to illustrate the directions a poster could take. lucy chose the one you see here, which caspar made entirely digitally. the design was constructed using the 2025 instagram profile grid's 3:4 aspect ratio as a fundamental building block.

the poster explores how much these kids see themselves through the lens of their own phones and online networks. it speaks to a subsequent insecurity in their own self image and how important that image is versus who they are as people. the poster is also a conscious nod to the work of samuel burgess-johnson and david rudnick, whose work caspar was studying at this time.

9-month contract_film poster

poster
_what
poster for the feature documentary, 9-month contract.
_how
we met 1991 productions' co-founders nino chichua and anna khazaradze at the berlinale a year ago. after seeing our poster for dea kulumbegashvili's april they got in touch again and asked that we might make the poster for their new feature documentary, 9-month contract.

we watched the film and were immediately drawn to the material. soon we spoke to the film's director ketevan vasahagashvili and together came up with the idea for the poster you see here. 

the film is about a georgian single mother with a young daughter who becomes a surrogate mother in order to afford a home and provide for her family. the poster is in part a map of the damage done to the mother's body as a result of this way of life.

caspar made the poster with a printer, a scalpel, a needle, black thread, lights and a camera.

the film will have its world premiere at CPH:DOX this month and we cannot recommend seeing it enough. so if you have the means, do try.
