The winning flavours for our crowd-sourced ice cream at Sheffield Doc/Fest were Whisky & Honey and Cookies ‘n’ Cream. Despite a small delay due to a leak in one of our hand-cranked ice cream machines, we made 2 gallons of fresh ice cream. Both flavours went down a treat to a crowd of eager festival-goers on Saturday. We had a lively discussion about DIY production and distribution, including a sneak peek at our new Distrify film marketing and distribution service. We’ve posted some pictures from the event on the Distrify Facebook page.

Get involved now and vote for your favourite flavour here.
