Filmmaker Harmony Korine (Kids, Spring Breakers) directed via MJZ this campaign for 7-Eleven out of agency 360i.
Among the spots is “Coastin’” featuring a towering man on roller skates who casually glides into his local 7-Eleven to snag a Slurpee, barely pausing as he taps his credit card to pay and rolls out the door. The thrill of that first icy sip sets off an unexpected display of agility, and the parking lot becomes the stage for his joyful skating performance.
The package of spots features the brand’s new tagline, “Take it to Eleven.”

How do you top one of the most viral brand videos ever made? Spoiler alert: you can’t. But when Dollar Shave Club tapped Zack Seckler to direct a new campaign to revive the absurdist humor of its iconic launch video, he knew he had a rare opportunity to create something special.
The brief was simple: introduce the concept of a physical “Club” that people would love to join while showcasing Dollar Shave Club’s products and embracing the weird. From script to direction and post, Seckler--an alum of SHOOT’s 2021 New Directors Showcase--was invited to help sculpt that vision.
The result is this “Welcome to the Club” spot which invites us to join a unique, seemingly exclusive but in reality an accessible and affordable fraternity of Dollar Shave Club members. But you need to know the password or more accurately, the two-word phrase--"shave money."
“The Club” campaign brings the brand back to its humorous roots, reflecting a new chapter after being acquired by Nexus Capital Management from Unilever in late 2023. The work takes Dollar Shave Club back to its disruptive beginnings and what made the brand a viral sensation from its inception in 2011.
