When J. Rieger & Co. celebrated 816 Day, the goal was to honor Kansas City and the community that makes the distillery what it is. And that’s exactly what we captured.

This project focused on the moments that define 816 Day — local pride, packed patios, live music, flowing cocktails, and the shared energy of a city showing up for itself. Our approach was to create an event film that felt vibrant and authentic, giving the Rieger team a piece of content they could use to promote future events and highlight the role the distillery plays in Kansas City’s cultural fabric.
