Holmen Lofoten, Norway.
The call to produce a brand video for Holmen Lofoten in Norway and knowing our filming location would be at the Angela Hartnett and Valentine Warner Kitchen On The Edge event in September 2021 on the island was the dream assignment.
With the world still in various flight bans post-covid we produced and filmed everything on offer on the otherworldly patch in Norway in 4 days collaborating with chefs, artists with their in-house marketing team and founder of Holmen Lofoten, Ingunn.
Respecting the guests at this once in a lifetime visit was deeply important to Holmen, so we dutifully turned our cameras to the floor when steaming, seasonal dishes made their way to the tables and savoured in the moment with the talent, hosts and guests alike. While a shame for storytellers to miss documenting the food we have helped the mystery of their dishes and dining experience alive…until, hopefully next time!
We’re thrilled to share a film we made in their special part of the world between land and sea, rain and shine and on the cusp of the Arctic circle. Where the poetry and complexity of a place so truthfully reflects the poetry and passion in the people found there. There’s a pure, lasting presence to what you share with the people there - from the ethereal food, to masterful craftsmanship all whilst under the spell of the epic relationship you adopt with the land which is completely bedded in tradition, history and innovation.
