John Jameson speaks on film for the very first time in this 11-minute period drama launched in 2012. The piece, created by vStream from conception and scripting through production to post-production, forms the centre of a full re-imagination and rebuild of The Old Jameson Distillery. Set in Dublin in 1802, the story follows American journalist, David Grimble, on his visit to the second city of the British Empire at the invitation of John Jameson. Mr. Grimble meets a series of Irish characters as he explores the largest distillery in the world following the elusive Mr. Jameson.
vStream explored the historical facts of John Jameson’s life and distillery, the unique process of distillation, the target audience and the brand values to create a script that expressed the important elements the company wished to communicate while maintaining the proper reverence for the heritage of this 250-year old whiskey. Requirements also included recreating the city of Dublin and the grandeur of the Bow Street Distillery of 1802.
