Director Statement

Girls just wanna have fun and what epitomizes luxury: These were the seeds of thought that grew into this commercial. We shot two versions of this commercial. One where the girl in the trunk is kidnapped for a bachelorette weekend and the other where it was two friends wanting to do something exhilarating and dangerous. I wanted a twist on a normal commercial. Something that really pushes the idea of advertising into a more edgy short film type experience.
