A Holiday Dream | Short Film
The holiday season is always exciting and can easily get hectic with everything that is going on, but this year we wanted to shift the focus from the celebrations to the ones who actually make them possible.
This film is dedicated to the real heroes here! Those who do all the work during the holidays and whose efforts often go by unseen or unappreciated: from cab drivers to nurses, and to that family member who was been cooking for dayyyys!
Below is a brief selection of the process and the making of this film – full case study coming up soon!
Cheers to you!
We love a good story, and if it has a message: even better. When writing it we wanted the story to feel close to us, and hopefully after watching the film, someone you care about instantly comes to your mind.
Niceshit & Lobulo
For this crazy adventure, we teamed up with our great friend and incredible artist and director Lobulo. We have so much in common in terms of creativity, humor, friendship, and narrative so diving into a hand-crafted film and writing it together was a complete joy ride.
We have done this with so much love and with so many lovely people involved.
Infinite thanks to the incredible team of artists that joined us on this one, you are the best <3
