A family gets sentimental about its car in new Toyota spot

A new spot for the Toyota Avanza, called ‘A Theatre of Memories’, aims to depict the many uses of the SUV. The film brings the viewer through the many experiences of a multi-generational family and their individual connections to the family vehicle. Ad Nut enjoys the purity and simplicity of the film, particularly the scene where the daughter in the family is indulging in carpool karaoke with her friends.

The film is directed by Bangkok’s Sweetshop duo Christian & Patrick, in partnership with Ogilvy Singapore and Hogarth Worldwide. The filming took place over five days in Bangkok and Rayong.
