Behind the scenes footage from our first road trip
Jul/100
We’re going to do our best to document the process of making our latest film, a feature about wine and winemakers. This is the first installment, from a trip we took to the high desert wine region of eastern Washington.
First shoot in the can
Jun/100
We officially kicked off production on our new wine documentary. Was a productive evening last night, and we had an outstanding 3-camera shoot (2 Canon 7Ds and one Canon T2i) during sunset. In fact, the evening was so productive that I think we even came up with the actual name of our film. I thought it would take at least a year to figure out what we’re going to call this thing. We may have a new domain to reserve soon.
Airlie Winery owner Mary Olson shared some great stories and wisdom. She’s fantastic on camera, as natural, thoughtful and likable, all the qualities that make her tasting room feel like home. She’s one of our favorites in the wine biz.
So we started shooting at our home winery, and Friday we’ll be heading to Prosser, WA to interview a fascinating pair of winemakers who are both doing something unique and original. On Saturday we’ll swing by the Wine Blogger Conference in the vino-loving town of Walla Walla, WA. All in all it will be a fun first week of shooting The Wine Movie.
We captured a time lapse sunset to wrap up an evening of filming at Airlie Winery
Behind the scenes on A Country Wedding

This is a clip from the behind the scenes documentary we included with the DVD version of A Country Wedding. In it, cinematographer Truen Pence talks about the low-fi stabilization rig we used, and the thoughts behind the two-camera process.
