Barrel House is a place of contradictions. A tiny bar with a huge selection of craft beers and cocktails, it is situated in a backstreet just off one of Larnaca's high streets. The vibe is simultaneously cosy and classy and it's one of very best bars in Cyprus that cater to cocktail and craft beer aficionados. Our collaboration begun when BH decided to enter the World's Best Old Fashioned Competition with their own version of the cocktail which entails aging cognac in a gourd. ​

PRIMITIVE CYPRUS is a boutique company that produces one of the world's finest and most sought after organic olive oils. It combines modern design with the highest quality organic olive oil, included in FLOS OLEI's list of the world's best olive oils. The whole process from beginning to end, from the olive picking to the silkscreen printing of the bottle, is done by hand. This produces olive oil of the highest quality and a design that is minimal and stunning. Unlike any other olive oil bottle design, PRIMITIVE CYPRUS' black&white design utilises the extreme brightness of Cypriot landscapes for inspiration. This is a long form commercial in a documentary style showcasing the love and hard work that goes into designing the bottle. For this video I wanted form to echo content and also to utilise the same elements that I saw as key to the PRIMITIVE CYPRUS brand identity. "Light", "contrast", "organic" and "hands" were our key elements, as well as the searing heat and slow pace of Cypriot life.

Beauty Point by Andri Petrou commissioned us to produce several long and shot form videos in one day using non-professional models. Despite our severe time and budget restrictions our shoot was a blast. We managed to create an atmosphere where our amateur models felt comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, as you can see in the final product.
