CREATIVITY ON BEHALF OF THE REGION

An ambitious project carried out for the region, by the region.

An accomplishment which challenges our times, most of all because contrary to the restrictions of today’s social media, it allows the story time to breathe and develop depth.

Produced by the Consorzio Chianti Classico which simultaneously also showcases the tremendous creative potential of this land.

For this project, communication agency Swolly tapped into talent drawn mostly from within a zero-kilometre radius.

”We wanted to transform words into images and breathe new life into a legend which was handed down through the centuries by word of mouth. Our aim was to generate a powerful and lasting set of images for all wine lovers and those who love our region
DANIELE PALMIRegista - Swolly

”We tried to be as meticulous as possible, recreating the imagery inherent within the legend in the finest detail. Long and painstaking research went into to everything from the costumes to the actors’ faces

METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL REQUIRES A MAJOR PRODUCTION EFFORT

Like all film production, making ‘The Legend of the Black Rooster’ demanded close collaboration between dozens of behind-the-scenes professionals as well as actors and extras.
