This film for Audible reflects the transformative power of audio storytelling. We see a group of people in an idyllic setting, meditating and getting in touch with their inner selves.
Suddenly utopia is disrupted as the world around them starts to shake.
Turns out we’re on a commuter train reaching a station–but thanks to Audible, the journey has been calm and almost transcendent. The commute underscores how listening to Audible immerses us all in extraordinary worlds, changing our mood, perceptions, views–while engaging in routine daily activities.
“Zen Commute” was directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet via production company Partizan for London-headquartered creative agency Fold7.

Carmaker Dacia, owned by Renault, is taking part in the legendary Dakar Rally, a grueling long distance race where drivers take on the Saudi Arabian desert.
To mark Dacia’s first-ever participation in the Dakar Rally, Publicis Conseil created this film which presents a world of sand that is as spectacular as it is challenging for drivers and their vehicles. Rune Milton directed this visceral, hyper-realistic piece via production house Wanda.
As a bonus, the drivers of the official Dacia team, The Dacia Sandriders, make an appearance: Nasser Al-Attiyah, Sébastien Loeb and Cristina Gutièrrez. The work has been released in Europe on television and digital.
