To kick off Electric Forest’s 10th anniversary, we explore the festival through a unique perspective and learn more about the connection that lies beneath the art and music…

Seeking to reimagine the event aftermovie, “Time” explores the many avenues of Electric Forest at a depth that’s unusual within the live music space.

After a decade of capturing Electric Forest music festival, from its infancy to the cultural phenomena it has become today, we finally understood it, and ourselves as filmmakers, well enough to go back to beginning and tell the story. This short documentary seeks to uncover some of the intangible magic of The Forest and what keeps people coming back all these years.

Recently we had the honor of creating the Season 4 announcement campaign for Netflix’s hit series Narcos. Featured across many platforms, at several lengths, this served as one of the primary marketing pieces leading into this season’s release. With over 7 million views, 10,000 comments, and 60k likes across socials (not including ad buys) the campaign was met with a ton of excitement. This our favorite version of the spot.

Recently, we teamed up with Mai.la, director Kusanagi and Foreign Family Collective to produce a bold performance film for some of the band’s latest music. Cinesthetics creative director Steve Conry helped set a stunning look for the piece.

SnowGlobe Music Festival is kinda like home for us. It's one of the first places we got to do our thing, back in 2011 when Cinesthetics was first getting off the ground. Since then, we've been up there each winter to ring in the New Year and capture a variety of content to fulfill their marketing goals. 

As the festival continues to grow–from around 8,000 attendees in 2011 to over 20,000 in 2016, so too have our productions. Each year we are looking for ways to help grow the SnowGlobe brand and the culture surrounding it. Starting in 2014, we moved beyond the montage-centric recap video into capturing live moments. Check out our most recent example with Odesza bringing in the New Year.

Anton, aka Zedd, is one of the new breed of artists that appears to be an everyday guy, but is actually a savant at just about everything. His talents include drums, piano, music production (obviously...), lighting design, marketing, video editing, FIFA, and whatever else he tries. We learned all of this firsthand, while filming the documentary "Moment of Clarity", on his sold out world tour of the same name.

Our Creative Director, Steve Conry, was brought on as the Field Director and DP, tasked with preserving this iconic moment in Zedd's career. In a few short month's he would go on to see his hit single Clarity reach double platinum, record the follow up single "Stay the Night" with Hayley Williams of Paramore, produce music for Lady Gaga and ultimately win a Grammy for Best Dance Recording.

As Flosstradamus embarked on their biggest North American tour to date, their team called us to help them develop a campaign that would both document the adventure and support ticket sales along he way. At the time, tours were typically releasing short weekly updates here and there, eventually followed by a full recap. We decided we could up the stakes.

What we settled on was releasing an Instagram edit for every single day of the tour, almost in real-time. This meant full days of shooting and long nights of editing, but it also created huge buzz. Ticket sales soared and before long other artists were telling Floss that they were planning daily videos too. Now its par for the course. Amongst the chaos of churning out content every day, we managed to get out a few more composed pieces. This one's our favorite.

There are only so many people in this world that can recognize the good in everything they encounter. Wally Wojack was one of those people. Shortly before his passing in April of 2017, we were lucky enough to wander into his little home in Rothbury, Michigan, and learn a bit about his life. Here's a look at some of our favorite parts of our time together.

Our relationship with Big Gigantic goes back to the very beginning. From shooting their early press photography to all of their major video content, we've been with them since the 2010, helping to visually communicate their brand. In that time, we've watched them grow from a buzzing local Boulder band, to one of the most successful acts on the international stage. They've gone from filming them in packed 500 person theaters, to headlining festivals all summer long and selling out Red Rocks 10 times. 

With all of there success, Dom and Jeremy have remained some of the most humble and deserving collaborators we could have asked for. Our short documentary entitled "Dream Big: A Big Gigantic Story" takes viewers back to day one, giving them a chance to see Big G's rise to fame firsthand.
