GOLD WINNER for Creative Pool Awards 2023 (Category: Production)
This eco-friendly brand was ready to launch the first-ever 100% recyclable shoe. Perfect timing for a man who does not wear shoes because he refuses to contribute to the global landfill crisis.

The goal of this video was to educate audiences about the environmental impact of the shoe industry without being heavy-handed. ZebraOasis requested the video feel lighthearted while captivating audiences with an unexpected story. The dialogue also needed to highlight the key features of the revolutionary hemp shoe without sounding like a marketing pitch.
The script required an extensive casting process to find the perfect “Breakfast Club” assortment of unique and interesting characters. The back-and-forth dialogue is fast-paced and coordinated with the positioning of each person to create a captivating flow. In post-production, the odd (and almost creepy) soundtrack adds to a cult-like tone that is sure to keep you guessing what happens next!
