Mountain × Le Doyenné

A short branded documentary capturing a collaboration between Tomos Parry of Mountain, his Michelin-starred restaurant on Beak Street in Soho, and James Henry of Le Doyenné, the celebrated farm-restaurant based in Saint-Vrain, France.

The film captures the people behind the craft, the relationships, the ingredients, and what happens when two restaurants cook together.

Shot on 16mm and digital. This was a lovely film to make and it's always a pleasure to collaborate with Tomos and his teams.

Big thanks to NamaYasai for letting us film at your beautiful farm.

Directed by: James Dougan
