Brand Film/2025

The Long Way North

A founder's origin story told as a 90-second theatrical short — shot across three winters.

The challenge

Nordkraft had a remarkable founding story buried in a deck no one read. They needed it felt, not filed — a piece that made a fifteen-year-old company feel inevitable.

Our approach

We treated it as a short film: a single narrator, three winters of principal photography, and a score built around the sound of the founder's first workshop. No stock, no talking-head grid — just one unbroken emotional arc.
