Such a privilege to work on an ad for Moccona—a brand with one of the most iconic taglines of all time. “Moccona heft mere mmmm” is something we all remember growing up, so I feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to bring a new story to life for them.
Huge thanks to @mattmaydesign and HAVAS NZ for bringing me on board, @masonbennettdp for the stunning cinematography, the incredibly talented @sheldonrua_ for the beautiful poetry, and our amazing actors @soui_sun and @oz.ob.fitz , who brought so much heart to this piece.
I think I’ve found my new favourite genre. ✨💛
As a Kiwi, I’m not sure if I’m meant to admit this, but wow – what an incredible bunch of Aussies I had the privilege to work with on this project. A huge thank you to Matt, Chav, and James from HOTGLUE, and Nick and Bee from HAVAS MEDIA – what an extraordinary team + crew! And of course, Pat and Becky Cummins – What absolute legends and superstars. It was an honour to work alongside all of you.
