A short film about us

We are so excited to share with you a short film we’ve been working on with the amazing super duo of Haptic Pictures! Come with us as we cavort about in Vermont forests and make chocolates in our cozy kitchen tucked away in an old mill building in Brattleboro.

A love letter to our home state, our ingredients and our community, it will take you with us as we talk about what we do and what inspires us.

The video features aerial footage of our beautiful town and surrounding mountains and forests by Vermont photographer Ezra Distler, breathtakingly beautiful music by the über-talented Yasmin Williams, and guest appearances by our canine pal Ruben, the filmmakers’ charming pooch.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for future videos about who we are, what we do and what inspires us, including recipes and techniques, foraging, gardening, more about cacao, herbs and other ingredients, Vermont and the Northeast and more! And if you enjoy it, be sure to give the video a thumbs-up.

Here are some behind-the-scenes – making-of – process peeks:

  • John Singer is outside wearing a jacket and a bright orange beanie. He's holding out a red frisbee for a small white and brown dog wearing an orange vest.
  • Outside in the fall woods, Dar Singer sits on a wooden rocking chair. She's looking at the camera and holding up a peace sign. She's wearing a grey shirt dress and knee high brown boots.
  • A filmmaker crouches behind his camera which is on a tripod. He's smiling and is on the side of a hill in the woods. He wears a bright orange beanie.
  • A film maker is a purple sweater helps Dar Singer put on a microphone. The women is standing while Dar sits on a wooden bench
  • A women wearing a pink beanie and a purple sweatshirt is pointing a camera down at Dar Singer. They are outside in the woods during fall, and Dar is sitting on a moss covered boulder.

  • Candid shot of a filmmaker in the woods. The filmmaker is a woman wearing a pink Tavernier beanie, a dark purple carhartt sweatshirt and blue jeans. In her hand, she's holding a large camera.
