While the novel coronavirus COVID-19 continues to have a damaging effect on Chicago and Illinois, post-production house Utopic has now partnered with Chicago local distillery, KOVAL, to create a video to promote the company’s response to the health. As soon as the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) removed restrictions for Chicago distilleries, KOVAL converted their distillery production from spirits to hand sanitizer for medical staff.
Using stills from the distillery, Utopic editor Suzie Moore was able to put together this moving video.
