Meller Spec Ad
A spec ad for Meller, the Barcelona eyewear brand, made independently with a friend.
A spec ad created without a brief: a friend and I wrote, shot, and cut the film we would pitch to Meller if the door were open.
I co-directed the piece, ran camera as director of photography, and edited it.
