KILCHOMAN | Core Expressions Series
We worked for the second consecutive year for the Kilchoman Distillery, a great Whisky Brand based in Islay, Scotland. After developing the Brand film the year before, we’ve been asked to make three different profile films based on their main whisky products and the people behind them. It felt good to be back on Islay, it’s such an amazing place. We filmed with Alexa Mini and Cookes S4i Prime lenses, pairing our A camera with a RED Helium S35 for slow motion and macro footage. We experimented a lot with all the different locations and elements we had at our disposal, especially liquids, food and some fire.

In the “People Behind the Whisky” series we meet Anthony Wills, Founder and Managing Director of Kilchoman Distillery. Anthony and his wife Kathy created Kilchoman from a collection of derelict farm buildings in 2005, in doing so they established the first new distillery to be built on Islay in over 124 years. Their passion for whisky and ambition to revive the traditions of farm distilling has transformed Kilchoman from a fanciful dream into celebrated reality.
