Released a couple weeks ago, this film for KBank (Kasikorn Bank) of Thailand by GreyNJ United has racked up several million views across Facebook and YouTube.
It's not too hard to see why. It cleverly draws you into the point of view of a guy who's confined to his flat and becomes desperate for something—anything—to eat besides the eggs he's been surviving on. He heads out into the world, but his quest leads him on a journey of realisation about how to feed not just his stomach, but his soul.
Ad Nut enjoyed the trip, and was particularly tickled by the against-the-expected musical selection the filmmakers have decided on at the end.
The agency's deputy CCO, Aswin Phanichwatana, reports that the project, from first idea to release, was executed within a week and was inspired by a statement from K-Bank’s emeritus chairman Banthoon Lamsam, who said “We’ll get through the crisis together with give".
Indeed.
