Filip Tellander of B-Reel directed this :40, shot in the rugged terrain and extreme climate of Iceland, which showcases the Audi A6 bio-turbo diesel’s ability to make numerous decisions in the blink of an eye.
The film captures the A6’s cutting-edge technologies: rain sensors operating the wipers; headlights automatically switching on as it turns dark; lane assistance guiding the car within the boundaries of its lane; a thermal imaging night-vision system detecting pedestrians in the dark; and auto dimming in the rear-view mirror when another vehicle’s headlights are detected.
All the while, the A6’s speedy “decision making” process is dramatized by a finger-clicking motif, a soundtrack which illustrates the thousands of split-second decisions the vehicle is constantly making to assist its driver. The film carries an equally sharp end line: Quick to react.

Hwang Dong-hyuk On Season 2 of “Squid Game,” Wrapping Production on Season 3; What’s Next?
Viewers may gasp, cringe or cry out watching characters die on Netflix's "Squid Game," but those simulated deaths have a different effect on its creator, writer and director. Instead, Hwang Dong-hyuk feels happiness seeing them go.
The show has a huge cast and Hwang says it was "really difficult" to manage everyone on set.
As characters would die, Hwang recalls saying to the actors on their last day, "'Oh no! How sad! I won't see you tomorrow,' but I was always smiling inside."
"Squid Game" season two premieres Thursday. It once again stars Lee Jung-jae and centers around a secret competition in South Korea that targets people in debt and the winner gets a big cash prize. What they don't know is that losing the game is deadly.
Hwang originally conceived of the show 15 years ago as a two-hour film but it failed to gain traction with financiers or even interested actors. He put it aside and worked on other films instead. He then had the idea to make it a TV series instead and took the project to Netflix. There, it could reach a wide audience.
"I never in my wildest dream thought it was going to be this huge," said Hwang, who spoke about the show and what comes next. Answers have been edited for clarity and length.
Q: What have you learned from "Squid Game"?
HWANG: I learned that I shouldn't give up. If you love something and if you want to create something, it might not work now, but the time might come later. Or that idea could be the source of inspiration for something else.
Q: You've already finished filming season three of "Squid Game." Have you thought about what your next project will be?
