    Lord Danger Director Parker Seaman Cooks Up A New Social Media Spot For Kraft Mac And Cheese

    Tuesday, December 17, 2024
    From “The Good, The Bad, and the Delicious,” directed by Parker Seaman of Los Angeles-based production company Lord Danger and Impossible Studios, Toronto. The spot features virtual video wall technology creating the entire location digitally.

    Lord Danger director Parker Seaman put his signature comedic style and virtual production know-how into full effect for the new Kraft Mac and Cheese ad, created by the brand’s in-house agency, The Kitchen. The spot, entitled “The Good, The Bad, and the Delicious” (:30), was shot virtually at one of Toronto’s virtual production stages with Impossible Studios, Seaman’s production home in Canada, using video wall technology. The new ad, which broke last month, can be seen online and on social media (Instagram and TikTok). “Before I even read the scripts, I was excited to even be considered for such an iconic brand.

I loved the idea that we were allowed to lean into the Western tropes as much as possible, not hold back on big performances… and ranch-flavored Mac and Cheese.
