The Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine was founded in 2007 by Juliet Blankespoor in Asheville, North Carolina. They offer numerous online opportunities to learn, including the Herbal Medicine Making Course, the Foraging Course: Edible and Medicinal Wild Herbs, and the Herbal Immersion Program.

Depthink Productions began working with The Chestnut School in 2015, helping their team of instructors produce videos for their online courses. Since then, we’ve created hundreds of videos for their school watched by hundreds of thousands of aspiring herbal learners all over the world.  These videos range from long-form course content, commercials, youtube videos, social media content, and so much more.

The Healing Garden book commercial consists of a collection of b-roll content shot by Depthink for The Chestnut School’s course videos, as well as b-roll collected specifically for this commercial intercut with an interview with Chestnut founder and book author Juliet Blankespoor.

Taylor Hellhake (DP, Sound Operator, Gaffer, Editor) worked alongside The Chestnut School’s marketing team, and a collection of enthusiastic extras to capture beautiful b-roll footage around the Asheville, NC area. The promotional commercial also consists of digital screen replacements, and superimposing pages from the book.
