As per usual, when the blog is quiet, it means that things are busy here at French Press Films.

We’ve been hard at work with clients Sungevity, as well as an exciting new project with SF’s Green Apple Books. Above, Sungevity President and Co-Founder Danny Kennedy shows us around their new digs, and yes, their sales floor.

Here, Green Apple’s co-owner Pete Mulvihill tells us about their Book vs. Kindle campaign from awhile back, their Book of the Month videos (that we produced with them) and how an independent store can triumph over the chains with the power of viral and word-of-mouth promotion. Stay tuned, kids!

Last week we began initial shooting for our work with Three Sticks Winery in Sonoma. Here are a few images from the shoot, documenting a short-order bottling process at Three Sticks, and an interview with one of its founders, Don Van Staaveren. It was pretty exciting to observe; it’s not often you see wine bottled by hand.

Taken approximately at 2:30 AM towards the end of the Tempo No Tempo video shoot with the amazing Jesse Dana.

We’ll have more updates later in the week, including a guest blog from Tempo No Tempo about their marathon video shoot!
