Titled “Not A Dream,” this spec spot from the Freise Brothers (Adam and Nathan) thrusts us into a surreal dark, dreary world of oil derricks and gasoline which is disrupted by a visitor–an electric-powered Tesla automobile. As the Tesla motors past, we hear the words of the famed late inventor Nikola Tesla (voiceover by Jonathan David Dixon) who envisions a world of alternative energy and extols the liberating potential of electricity.
The Tesla makes its way from a land of oil to the more colorful, clean environ of a path dotted with power-generating windmills. This ode to innovation was written and directed by the Freise Brothers who were included in SHOOT’s 2015 New Directors Showcase and are currently looking to secure a production company affiliation. The Freise Brothers on a shoestring budget handled all elements in the spot, including editing, audio and visual effects.
