A Night Untethered…

Stella Artois

A Night Untethered was a massive undertaking. This was a reverse-published 360 content plan that ran both digitally and in print and was tied to the 2018 Bazaar ICONS Event. The director, Janssen Powers, had an immaculate vision for the piece. He wanted a whimsical story filled with adventure and fashion, and all shot on super 16 film. Our crew took over the iconic Plaza Hotel for two days, pre-lighting and then shooting on a rigorous music video-esque schedule. We made our way through the Plaza kitchen, the famous Palm Court, iconic hallways, a maze of lights, and ended the shoot day chronologically on the rooftop sharing Stellas. It was a whirlwind of an experience bringing this to life, and many hands helped create something beautiful. Our film was recognized and won both Audience Choice and Judge’s Choice in category at the 2019 Webby awards.

Winner of a 2019 Webby Award & People’s Choice Award
