Hillsdale College

Brewing Up a Beautiful Idea

The world's finest home coffee makers.

Hillsdale College is a private, Christian, classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. They wanted to honor one of their alumni: Mark Hellweg, successful founder of Clive Coffee, a specialty coffee online retail store, and Ratio Coffee, which manufactures luxurious home drip coffee machines.

Copernican partnered with Hillsdale College to capture Mark's story. We sat down for interviews, followed and filmed his life, and edited his story into a tight and compelling narrative.

Filmed in Oregon, produced in Michigan.
