    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments19456 Views

    Drawing inspiration from Walt Whitman’s “Song of The Open Road” poem, this short film introduces us to a writer who too is seeking inspiration as he grapples with his latest work, which he shares in draft version with an interested waitress.

    As the writer’s story unfolds–narrated by actor Josh Brolin–we see the opportunity for adventure on the open road, which dovetails with what one can experience in the new Volvo S90 luxury sedan.

    Niclas Larsson directed via Anonymous Content/Iconoclast for agency Grey New York, with cinematography by Oscar-nominated Jeff Cronenweth, and music from Hollywood composer Dan Romer.
