New Work - Martinsson King - For Those Who Refuse to Settle.
We are honored to have been chosen to fly to Berlin to shoot a brand film for the hair care brand Martinsson King. The challenge was to create an engaging, visually impactful 30 minute film for their global launch event.
The film, which has 4 separate stories, is directed by our very own producer, Deborah Bacher. This debut was exciting and creatively rewarding. She worked closely with the Creative Director, David Glover, over a period of two months to not only handle the production aspects of the shoot, but to create a treatment that would be showcased to distributors and hair care professionals from around the world at the event in Sweden.
Here are 2 of the 4 films.
