PROJECT INFO
Cinema pre-rolls are one of the most effective means of advertising. A darkened theatre and eyeballs captivated by the big screen is a perfect mix to present a brand to an audience. The commercials that do well find a way to connect with the audience, often by using touching emotion, humour, engaging energy, and/or strong visuals.
For Santa’s Workshop, The Distillery wrote a light-hearted and touching commercial and filmed it on location at the Sexsmith Blacksmith Shop museum. Combined with holiday-themed production design, the cinematic visuals popped to life when presented on the big screen.
