Mistello
Gin.
Giving a family-run distillery in the south of France its first powerful image, through the story of its founder and his son.
The project
A distillery, a legacy.
Le Vadrouilleur is a family business based in Sault-en-Provence. To introduce Mistello, the film needed to establish its origins and character through an emotional story: that of a father and his son, and of an adventure that became a brand.
The challenge
Establish a brand before introducing it.
The aim was to create a strong image for Mistello Gin by telling the story of the company’s founding. The film begins with a relationship, a place and an origin — before becoming the brand’s voice.
The intention
“Creating a strong image for a story just beginning.”
