Farm League proudly presents Wax & Gold. The latest film produced in partnership with Stumptown Coffee Roasters. The film documents their travels to Ethiopia to learn more about its rich history, which serves as the underpinnings for a contemporary cultural tapestry that interweaves the very old and the very new.
Directed by Britton Caillouette of Farm League, Wax & Gold is a visual poem evoking a nuanced narrative portrait of this incredible place. Putting form to tension between history and contemporary life, the film relies on strong, timeless imagery, layered sound design and driving music to create an immersive experience.
