NEW YORK -- (SPW) --

Chelsea Pictures Director Alex Gibney, in collaboration with Ford Motor Company and Team Detroit, has helmed twelve online films and a broadcast spot celebrating 50 Years and the global launch of the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang. Gibney, a prolific and Oscar-winning Documentarian (Taxi to the Dark Side, 2008) worked with the client and agency to cast twelve diverse people from around the globe, each from different backgrounds and cultures, with their own challenges and dreams for this collection of short documentary films.

All of Alex Gibney’s “Mustang Moments” films can be viewed below or at youtube.com/fordmustang.

Together with Ford Motor Company and Team Detroit, Gibney afforded these very different individuals the opportunities of a lifetime: first, to drive the all-new 2015 Mustang throughout San Francisco and along the scenic California coast; and then, empowered by the experience of driving the powerful new sports car, Gibney surprised each of them with an opportunity to step towards the realization of their individual dreams. These were their “Mustang Moments.”

“’Mustang Moments’ was born from that feeling you get from sitting behind the wheel. You feel more aware and awake. You sit up a little straighter. You’re a bit more confident and present there in that moment. Anything is possible,” Team Detroit CCO Toby Barlow said of genesis of the campaign.

Ranging from “The Opera Singer” to “The Pitcher” to “The Voice Actor”, each film documents the driver’s journey, from the moment they admit their seemingly distant dreams, to their first time behind the wheel of the powerful new Mustang, through the empowerment they each felt after experiencing their own “Mustang Moments.”

“Let me just say how much fun I had doing the Ford spots. Hard work, but worth every minute of it. Working with Team Detroit and Ford to capture these “Mustang Moments” was a pleasure,” Director Alex Gibney spoke fondly of this highly collaborative and rewarding foray into branded content.

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Simian introduces Teams feature for review & approval

Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays! The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.” “Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.” “We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”. Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
