The Awakening Short Film Commercial:
"With 2020 marking the launch date for Elysian Biologic’s new lineup of NK therapies, pure MSC stem cell products and for the highly anticipated Exo® Exosome (umbilical cord derived) products for anti-aging, pain management and athletic injury treatment, it was only naturally instinctive that their 'beyond science fiction reality' medicinal offerings be paired equivalently with a cinematic storytelling experience cut from the same cloth", Director James Buzzacco affirms. "The conception of the short film commercial 'Awakening' was the company’s opportunity to finally communicate at this same future-forward-frequency and allow a wider audience to truly understand the implications of their new product-line’s healing potentials."
“Our art direction always feels like we start with saturated brush strokes that overflow with the cinematic framework inspirations of the science fiction reality of tomorrow”, Buzzacco describes. “And as we set out to artistically approach the visionary cocktail that blends both the realistic nature of the current scientific advancements with the more embellished 'sci-fi' branding ingredients used to create a sense of wonder for the potential buyers of the products, there is a certain responsibility we must uphold. This hybrid that we must become, between filmmaker and marketing professional, walks a very thin line in terms of sustaining an advertising integrity, and the short film commercial 'Awakening' and its overall brand for the Exo® Exosomes product is the artistic end result."
