Building Worlds You Can Step Into

Justin Bunnell is a storyteller, filmmaker, and fourth-generation entrepreneur from Vermont whose work bridges media, hospitality, and heritage. As the founder of Venetian Beverages, RetroMotion Creative, and Expedition Letters, he builds brands that don’t just sell — they invite people into worlds.

​

Through Venetian Beverages, Justin revived his great-great-grandfather’s 1890s soda brand, Venetian Ginger Ale, transforming a piece of Vermont history into a modern craft beverage rooted in authenticity and flavor. With RetroMotion Creative, he helps businesses tell cinematic stories that move audiences emotionally and drive real growth. His storytelling universe expands even further through Expedition Letters, a serialized pulp-adventure project that merges narrative, design, and mixology into immersive entertainment.

​

Whether it’s on screen, behind the bar, or inside a story, Justin’s mission remains the same: to create experiences that reconnect people to a sense of wonder, craftsmanship, and community.
