Ad Gefrin, Journeys

Located in Wooler in Northumberland, Ad Gefrin is a multi-million pound whisky distillery, museum and visitor experience which opened it’s doors in March 2023 and is set to become one of Northumberland’s most popular attractions.  

We were commissioned by Ad Gefrin to produce a video content series on the theme of “Journeys”.

We worked with the team at Ad Gefrin to develop a series of 5 films.  

The first film follows the journey of the copper stills from the renowned manufacturer Forsyths in Scotland as they travel through the highlands and across the border into Northumberland.  

The second film features Ad Gefrin co-founder Eileen Ferguson and explores her family roots in the borders and the inspiration behind Ad Gefrin.  

Films three and four feature Ad Gefrin co-founder Chris Ferguson and look at his journey as an archaeologist and the ancient Kingdom of Northumbria.

Lastly, Ben’s Journey, features Ad Gefrin Director Of Distilling Ben Murphy discussing his passion for whisky and the distillery itself.

Services provided included: project planning and logistics, creative, location filming and interviews, drone filming, post-production, sound design, animation and delivery.

The films formed an integral part of Ad Gefrin’s marketing collateral and were delivered online across all their social media platforms as well as on point of sale screens in the visitor’s centre.

The films were able to raise awareness to new and existing audiences and help generate global interest in the distillery and museum.
