This spot for Samsonite was filmed with a nomadic tribe in Namibia, who were paid in coffee and sugar (they had no need for money).
One of the toughest things about being a Creative Director is that you don’t always go on shoots, especially if they are in Namibia.
Probably one of the craziest shoots I ever went on. Shot in small towns in Arizona. Globe and Wilcox. Wilcox. Wrangle is seen as authentic in Europe and these commercials ran in movie theaters in Europe. So they couldn’t have much dialogue. One of the receptionists at the music company came up with the line “Are you going to run this way like that” which we thought was great.
