3 SEE FILMS is the film production company of award winning documentary filmmaker Jessie Auritt. The name was born out of Jessie's apartment, numbered 3C, which is where she began editing and working on her first feature length documentary. Jessie was forced to move out of her apartment/work space as her building was condemned due to extensive damage as a result of an unexpected explosion and subsequent fire. The logo is derived from both the triangle which is the universal symbol for fire, as well as the cinematic feel of the typography relating back to the silver screen or the light coming through from a projector onto a screen. 

When the Forest Coffee Trading Company approached me with a design challenge of creating a logo that both emphasizes the simplicity of the brand while marrying it's origin and history, I knew I had my work cut out for me. With very little information to go on, I began pulling the most important aspects of both the product itself and the people who would be bringing it to the public.

Because the coffee beans are hand picked in a mountainous region of northern Thailand known as the 'Golden Triangle,' I knew that this needed to be an important symbol to the brand both literally and visually. Also because the founders of the company are based in Colorado, I wanted the relationship between the mountains of Thailand and those of Colorado to connect into the brand as if they were one.

Film Synopsis: In the male dominated, testosterone-fueled sport of powerlifting, the last person one expects to see is a slight, young, Modern Orthodox Jewish girl. Since she began competitively lifting at the age of eight, Naomi “Supergirl” Kutin  has consistently shocked spectators and lifters alike, breaking one record after another. Standing at 5’0” and weighing 95 lbs, she can squat and deadlift more than double her bodyweight. These feats have not gone unnoticed: she has appeared in the international media, including multiple television shows and has a large social media following. 

“Supergirl” follows Naomi and her family as they prepare for and compete in powerlifting contests around the country, attempting to break new world records. Simultaneously, the film observes Naomi’s transition from a girl to a young woman as she prepares for her Bat Mitzvah - the symbolic entrance to womanhood in Jewish tradition which occurs at age twelve. As Naomi attempts to navigate the disparate worlds of competitive powerlifting and Orthodox Judaism she is faced with the physical and psychological challenges of her own body's growth and development while struggling to conform to strict religious laws. “Supergirl” observes Naomi as she confronts these issues head on, discovering and building her own physical and emotional strength while figuring out who she is along the way.
