    Kiran Koshy Directs “Guy on a Buffalo Wing” For Zaxby’s, Agency Tombras

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments3292 Views

    Kiran Koshy of Slash Dynamic directed this “Guy on a Buffalo Wing” spot for restaurant chain Zaxby’s out of agency Tombras. Our protagonist is the buffalo-riding hero from the viral web series based on the original online film “Buffalo Rider.”

    For this commercial, our rider finds himself back in the forest where it all began but this time mounted on a giant buffalo chicken wing. On this journey he discovers Zaxby’s new Boneless Wings Meal and is inspired to reminisce about his past, along with his fellow forest creatures from the original tale.

    The offbeat comedy spot is set to the tune of a folk song by Jomo & The Possum Posse, the band which narrated the original series. Director Koshy–an alum of SHOOT's 2017 New Directors Showcas– remarked, “This project presented me with a delightful smorgasbord of challenges. We had to figure out a longer linear piece that told a complete story around the product and served as a music video which paid homage to the original Man on A Buffalo viral videos.”

    Michael Schrom of production house Schrom directed food/tabletop for the spot.

    Top Spot of the Week: AlmapBBDO, Director Lu Villaca Team On A Show Of Strength For Women and Johnnie Walker

    Thursday, December 19, 2024

    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the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes.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.
