AIR CANADA | ‘Ticket to Dream’
An ode to sacrifice.
When we were making this film, I would think often of my Dad, an immigrant from government housing in Glasgow, Scotland. And of my mom, who came from Georgetown, Guyana.
Everyone who worked on this had a similar origin story – of parents who immigrated to Canada in search of a better life. And ALL we wanted to do collectively was to honour their journey, their perseverance.
Huge thanks to Air Canada for the longtime collaboration and trust. I’d follow you guys anywhere…
Scripts like this don’t come along every day. Tip of the hat to
@sararadovanovich @funginthesun @jermcnama @creamoh @picassofp & everyone at FCB who poured infinite amounts of love into this.
I could easily turn this whole thing into a
@christopher_lew appreciation post but I will just say that you set the new benchmark on this 🎥 🫡 🤝
Thankful for Si, Reets,
@scouts.tv @moonlighting_commercials and all the names below who went on the journey w/ me.
Blessed to have longtime friends like
@instagrahamchisholm @wadeodlum @dominikbochenski who put up with my shit.
Lastly, the performances in this are my favourite. Xolisa + Tara smashed every scene but a special shoutout to
@nike.abiodun
First time on camera and she’s a pros pro. Can’t wait to watch you run the hurdles in LA28.
