Airfoil | Salute to Journalists

Difficult and dangerous to acquire. A basic human need. Just as important as food, water, and sleep. The energy that pushes civilization forward. That’s the story of information.

This film, “Salute to Journalists” produced for Airfoil Group, tilts our focus to the unique and increasingly important role that journalists play in our culture and democracy.

Production: Eightfold
Directed by: Kurt Schneider

Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate a monumental day of freedom. We take this day as both a chance to rejoice in a historical grand step forward for Black Americans in our common humanity, as well as a day of conversation and action to change the narrative of the future for the better.

Sunday night (6/21) is the last day that we're taking orders for our fundraiser benefiting Detroit Justice Center in their fight for racial justice–100% of profits will be donated. This fundraiser exists in collaboration with incredible activists, Detroiters, and Eightfold Resident Photographers, @breannwhite and @j.milhouse in an effort to collectively take active, concrete steps hand-in-hand with activists working to shape that future narrative. We hope you'll join us.

'Til We See The Sky

As we all know, Detroit and it’s primarily Black residents, were hit disproportionately hard with the initial wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It felt like another hard hit to a city that has seen more than it’s share of injustices. In spite of it all however, the people of Detroit rise up. They are incredible, hopeful, beautiful, strong, and powerful. Our neighbors shared with us a sense of community, optimism and pride for this city that would not be silenced by this or any of the other adversaries. As filmmakers, we recognized how powerful that message might be for those who needed a glimmer of hope, and sought to share it.

In the midst of the editing process, the Black Lives Matter movement swept across the globe, bringing an even brighter light to the conversation. We broadened our message beyond the pandemic to speak more to all the injustices Black Americans face as whole, and how the city of Detroit embraced the movement and demanded change and justice. Our hope is that this film might inspire a sense of togetherness and faith that we could come out on the other side of this pandemic moving towards a world that is better, more just, and more equal than the one we left behind.

Huge thanks to everyone involved, to all of our neighbors and friends, and specifically to Producer Bre-Ann White, and Writer Mic Phelps for guiding us in documenting this story.

The Northern Guard Supporters of Detroit City Football Club are arguably the most passionate group of sports fans in the United States. They stand and sing every second of the match. They set off thick, tear inducing smoke bombs. And they swear, a lot. It doesn’t matter if the soccer world knows the name Detroit City. To these fans, "City Til I Die" is not just a saying, it's a vow.

Our Photographer Residency program is here to unite these artists not just with our space, but also with our agency and brand partners who have a message to share, that are ready to invest in imagery above the ordinary.

Our intent is to create a synergy that connects the collective crew-power of motion film productions with the artistic storytelling of still photography to bring life to a higher level of photo campaigns.

We are very excited to announce Eightfold’s Resident Photographers, Bre’ann White, Hayden Stinebaugh, Brooke Weatherford, Zach Hagy, Nate Sturley, Jen Vermeulen, and Justin Milhouse.

Without artists, our studio is nothing but blank white walls. The idea is that we are uniquely positioned to create space and facilitate storytelling, not only for motion picture artists, but still photographers as well. Providing space for some of Detroit’s most creative eyes in imagery to explore, create, and connect.

When you miss shooting so much you even start to miss pre-dawn call times.... oh what we would give to see everyone sipping their coffee, prepping for first shots while the light stretches over the sky. Remind us we said this next time there’s a 4am call 😆 In the meantime hope everyone is staying safe and healthy 🌟

We love seeing everything that is created here at Eightfold. #shotateightfold

If you know you’ll likely rent our studio space in the future, you can use this opportunity to throw down some money on that investment now, as a commitment to yourself, and to help your community at the same time. You can purchase dollar for dollar studio credits in the next 15 days, we will donate the profits to the COVID-19 Arts and Creative Community Assistance Fund operated by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. We will log those studio credits and reduce them from your future rentals. (Note: photo and video shoots only, not applicable for events)

Newest @direct2podcast with @laerkeherthoni https://open.spotify.com/episode/0VfmkcZVrvRjsad4vECyE4?si=T8k0QMVeQIKemYqroDUSsA - Laerke began working as a director’s assistant, with jobs on the side. She began working on music videos, reaching out to production companies asking them to produce them. She moved to Stockholm a few years later and began working on commercials. While home quarantining, Laerke has been watching the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and a new mini-series by the creators of The Wire, called The Plot Against America.

One of our Directors @nickstach was asked by @artanddesignnycto talk with the students about his recent Vimeo Staff Pick film, “Speed”. During their online classes, they have asked Director’s from across the country to speak via video chat as an alternative way of learning. Nick broke down his approach and obstacles he had to overcome when shooting on film, as well the importance of taking the time to get to know your subject. Listen in on one of the students synopsis on “Speed”. Special thanks to Kevin Lopez and @artanddesignfilm for having us! Speed: https://vimeo.com/360707319 More work: https://www.eightfold.tv/work
