3. The Mast Brothers
1 year ago
The life of a mariner is one given over to wanderlust—the quest for adventure, crossing unseen horizons to secure precious goods—only to bring them back to their home port. This same love of adventure and curiosity defines the brotherhood of Rick and Michael Mast. They share a fiercely independent spirit, leaping into the unknown and trusting that they’ll find the answer through endurance and dedication to their craft.
They began their voyage in their apartment, using a homemade machine to process cacao beans. Over time they cultivated their creation, sourcing beans from family farms in Madagascar, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. Each bar is handmade with incredible reverence for the process and history of chocolate. They are bound in ornamental papers and golden foil like a collection of rare books. Each bar offers its own story of flavors, and no two are exactly alike.
The Mast Brothers are now planning to navigate the mighty Atlantic, sailing to the Dominican Republic in search of beans and a deeper connection with the folks who grow them. Before they begin the next chapter, The Scout spent time with Rick and Michael documenting their story. Photo by Mindy Best.

Thank you so much for sharing this!
What was this shot on? Color graded with? It really looks great.
Or maybe I've just watched the footage too many times and I'm numb? Fortunately, Ed knows his EX cams. This was shot on EX1 and EX3, both running Letus adapters.
This is by far my favorite one. Not just because of it's energy and message, but because I clearly love Chocolate. Go buy some Mast Brothers. you will not be disappointed.
Cheers!
Beutifully filmed & edited.
Thanks I really enjoyed
Thanks.
hi i'm South Korean
you are video is cool
am we are progress that interview video
with operate sensitivity community
so you are video is give me a many inspiration
if you are interesting us
mosaicist.net ← vist us
ps. i feel sorry that ma English :D
Good luck with your endeavor. The best thing to remember is that everyone has a story even if they don't know it. and that story can be as epic as you want it to be.
i'm going to check out your site now. take care. b.
I'm really shy to see my video after yours, haha.
I sympathize with your comment.
Our web-site's purpose is just like that.
Everyone has a story,
despite many people don't recognize from them.
We want to point them and record them
and give them a chance to say there story.
It'll not only be a great chace to the interviewees,
but also to the listeners and the people
who watch our interviews.
Although a person saying in the video is still a
young boy who works at a seven-eleven for a part job,
We believe he could give us big touch and lesson.
Sorry for 'too long' comment.
I'm really glad to see your video
and impressed with nice camera movings.
Every clips in the video looks so beautiful.
Most of all I'm very happy to meet a person
who think extremely similar to myself.
It's distance is quite far,
Someday I really want to interview you.
And before that ofcourse I really want to be in your video fisrt haha :)
Good luck to your job.
Embedding your video to mosaicist.net
Amazing.
You all are a smokin' HOT power team.
Brennan - amazing directing and interviewing skills, wonderful mix of emotions in the edit.
Tom- 100% producing skills
Albert - you schlep with such grace and ease
THE SCOUT should be the leading video production team for celebrating these crafts that make us all enjoy being human a little bit more.
To the point, you've done everything right here. Taking the old craftsman approach is great because it takes you out of the sales pitch and let's you have the beautiful warm lighting that you so wonderfully did. I love the ships and adventure theme. The bookended tracking in and out shot of the two men proudly standing with the ship in the middle. Thank you for the ECU shots, I am not seeing those in peoples work these days. Love the music changes and especially the black reflection/subject change holes. This was masterfully done and is an excellent video for the Mast Bros. company. Essentially these guys make candy bars, much like I make camera accessories but you turned it into an adventure of age old craftmanship. One of the best of this genre' I've seen. Well done.
Steve
