9-month contract_film poster

poster
_what
poster for the feature documentary, 9-month contract.
_how
we met 1991 productions' co-founders nino chichua and anna khazaradze at the berlinale a year ago. after seeing our poster for dea kulumbegashvili's april they got in touch again and asked that we might make the poster for their new feature documentary, 9-month contract.

we watched the film and were immediately drawn to the material. soon we spoke to the film's director ketevan vasahagashvili and together came up with the idea for the poster you see here. 

the film is about a georgian single mother with a young daughter who becomes a surrogate mother in order to afford a home and provide for her family. the poster is in part a map of the damage done to the mother's body as a result of this way of life.

caspar made the poster with a printer, a scalpel, a needle, black thread, lights and a camera.

the film will have its world premiere at CPH:DOX this month and we cannot recommend seeing it enough. so if you have the means, do try.

brooklyn motto_book cover

cover
_what
cover for brooklyn-based author alex r. johnson's debut novel, brooklyn motto.
_how
the filmmaker and script writer alex r. johnson has written a novel. the book is called brooklyn motto and it is set in new york city back in 1998. the book details a few days in the life of a private detective called nico kelly. after recording something he shouldn't have recorded, nico finds himself caught like a fly in the corruption and malfeasance ridden web of new york's law enforcement community. 

alex sent us a copy of the book and asked that we might design the cover for it. caspar read it and sent alex a few ideas. the final cover you see here is intended to be a bit cryptic, and only reveal its real meaning the deeper you get into the book.

the novel is out now through all major booksellers, and in fact you can order yourself a copy here. alex also made a playlist of 90s music mentioned in the book and that inspired the book here.

sujip_film poster

poster
_what
poster for the short film, sujip.
_how
vincent quénault of red lion introduced us to writer / director gintare parulyte after we expressed an interest in making a poster for her film, sujip. we'd previous worked with vincent on maret, and were once again taken by the quality of his productions.

sujip is a short film about a man working his first day in a suicide helpline center. another man of the same age calls to share his desire to take his life and as the two men talk they slowly come to an understanding that deeply benefits them both.

we discussed the film with gintare and then presented a range of ideas to her. she went with the one you see here, which talks about how a conversation can sometimes open doorways in the mind that have long been closed. caspar made the poster in berlin with a printer, some card, a scalpel, a camera and a rare stretch of warm february sunlight.

the film has been selected to play in competition at the vilnius film festival. if you have the means, do see it.
