Some directors make commercials.
Paul Hunter makes moments you feel.
Co-founder of @prettybirdpic
A visionary across music, film, and advertising.
The mind behind moments youâve probably referenced without even realizing it.
Thatâs why we partnered with him for Toyotaâs BEV Family Campaign.
We needed someone who could balance humor, authenticity, and cultural specificity. No trade-offs.
Paul didnât just meet the brief. He elevated it.
Because introducing Toyotaâs first all-electric lineup to a skeptical audience through puppetry isnât exactly the expected route.
But in the right hands, the unexpected feels inevitable.
Thatâs Paul.
