$antaCon is a 90-second heist film written and directed by the team of Hugo & Dean, two creative directors from BBH New York.
Hugo & Dean wanted to create a film they could “shoot on the biggest film set in the world–Manhattan.”
The story was based on a real event in which a thief robbed a bank dressed as Santa.
This is Hugo & Dean’s first foray into directing and to pull it off they worked alongside BBH New York’s internal production company Slaughterhouse.
