HISTORY WALKING TOUR VIDEO

To celebrate Dromoland’s rich history, we created a Wes Anderson–inspired walking tour film that reimagines the traditional castle tour with a playful twist. Combining symmetrical framing, precise choreography, and subtle humour, the film introduces guests to the estate’s past through a visually distinctive and engaging lens.

We developed a video series highlighting Dromoland’s dedication to local ingredients and suppliers. Each episode followed a local farmer or producer before returning to the castle kitchen, where the Head Chef prepared a dish inspired by their work. The result is a heartfelt celebration of Irish provenance and craftsmanship that connects guests to the people behind every plate.
