Halo Infinite is the latest installment of the blockbuster Halo franchise and is a sci-fi action/adventure game developed by 343 Studios for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. In a time ruled by anti-heroes and doubt, Halo Infinite signals the triumphant return of true heroism. For the first time in half a decade, fans are invited to step into The Master Chief’s legendary Mjolnir armor and #Become.
But not every hero in the Halo universe is a seven-foot-tall Super Solider. The UNSC Archives, from 215 McCann, is a series of three short films–directed by Isaiah Seret of Biscuit Filmworks–that takes us to pockets of the Halo universe we’ve never seen before, to tell the stories of the humanity and heroism behind the origin of specific pieces of the Master Chief’s armor.
This film, Unspoken, is the story of an injured soldier’s message of hope and brotherhood to his fallen comrade’s parents after an attack left him unable to deliver that message with his own voice.
The new series of films–with visual effects by Method Studios–will be featured on Xbox social and digital channels and set the path for the Become campaign supporting the December 8, 2021 launch of Halo Infinite.

Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.”
Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys.
“The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
