Their sauce is named for the ship that burned Portland in 1775. The film opens as an engraving of that harbour and sets it on fire.

A hard-cut kinetic spot for the fall release. Splash, spin, freeze, then a clean lock for the line.
Three fruit ales in ten seconds. Each can takes its own hit, then all three land together for the shelf shot.
Warmer and slower, food-led. Proof that a restaurant with one good jar has a product spot in it.
Short films for food, drink and product brands — cut, scored and sound-designed in Portland, Maine. First cut back in 24 to 48 hours.
Most brands run three to six spots across a launch window — one hero film, then variations for each SKU, each channel and each week you need something new in the feed. Book the pack up front, deliver it staggered.
A single launch — a seasonal can, a new SKU, a crowdfunding page that needs to explain itself.
A hero film and a cutdown, or the same product told two ways for two channels.
The usual starting point. Enough to cover a launch window without repeating yourself.
A full season. A quarter of feed, planned together and delivered on a schedule.
You approve a storyboard before anything is shot, then the first cut lands within 24–48 hours — fast enough to still matter to a campaign that is already running. Three rounds of notes after that, usually same-day. Voiceover is available on request when a spot needs a voice rather than music alone. Product cards are finished stills pulled from your film, graded and sized for feed and product pages: included with every spot, never an add-on.
A short film lives or dies on its cuts and its sound. Those are mix decisions — and they get made by hand here, not left to a preset.
Tell me what you’re launching and you’ll get back a concept for the spot — before you commit to anything.
