A father and his son are thrust into the middle of a Roman Coliseum where an epic battle is about to begin once the "thumbs down" sign is given. Yet the dad and the little boy–even though they are seemingly standing in the middle of the Coliseum floor–are not in harm's way. They're instead surrounded by the experience as captured on their Samsung curved TV set. MPC London served as VFX house.

Chipotle is billed as the first restaurant brand to unveil a national TV ad in the metaverse. Free entrees were given to the first 50,000 Chipotle Rewards members who viewed the ad on Roblox

The short film depicts industrial farms transformed into vibrant, polyculture farms with diverse and organic crops, symbolizing Chipotle’s efforts to support farmers who prioritize sustainable agricultural practices.
