Centuries-old craft meets Hollywood cinema. This piece follows a Vermont maple sugaring operation through the lens of one of the world’s best cinema lenses – the Cooke full frame 40mm Anamorphic lens, paired with the Sigma FP for unmatched filming in low light, 4K uncompressed raw, bringing a feature film quality to a world that's never needed a filter.
The maple sugaring process is centuries old and one of the most tactile, seasonal, and labor-intensive food traditions in New England. The camera and lens were chosen specifically to honor that, not glamorize it.
This piece sits at the intersection of agricultural storytelling and high-end commercial production. When the subject is this authentic, the filmmaker must do their best to earn it. If you're sitting on a story like this one, we'd like to hear it.
