November flew by, and now we’re in the final stretch of the year!

As we wrap up 2024, we’re thrilled to share some festive cheer with you.

In collaboration with Blaze Partners, we produced the Maine Spirits Holiday commercial—a production we shot just a week before Halloween (yes, our team can channel holiday vibes early). Check out the commercial below.

A question for our Facebook friends:
What is your favorite holiday movie?

At KF - we're big fans of "Christmas Vacation". 🎄 Thomas even dressed up as Cousin Eddie for Halloween one year. 😅 And yes I'll try and find a photo for those interested.

In late August, our team embraced the Halloween spirit (and a very early morning) to create a Halloween-themed commercial for Maine Spirits. 🕸️🕷️

Thanks to the amazing folks at Bramhall , we were able to spent 7 hours transforming their space into a haunted bar filled with vampires, werewolves, and zombies. 🧛‍♂️🐺🧟‍♀️

The energy on set was fantastic, and we're so excited for you to check out the final spot.

Big thanks to our production team, talent, and creative partners at Blaze Partners.

Enjoy! 🍸
