Vans
“Ode” - a love letter to my favorite pair of shoes. I was inspired by John Keats' "Ode to a Grecian Urn" (for all the English majors out there). I traded the urn for Vans Classics and aimed to structure the spot like a poem too. Using short vignettes of the characters in a dreamy, abstract environments almost as their own stanzas. I wrote and directed this spot for Vans. Shot in Los Angeles, CA.
