SIMON BRAND DIRECTS SOFIA VERGARA IN COMMERCIAL FOR CERVEZA AGUILA IN THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF CARTAGENA
The beautiful Colombian Diva Sofia Vergara lit up the streets and beaches of Cartagena de Indias while shooting a commercial for Cerveza Aguila, co-produced by Kree8 Productions and directed by our own Simon Brand. The shoot lasted for two days in two separate locations, one in a luscious beach at the edge of town, the other one in the picturesque streets of the Getsemaní neighborhood, once a dangerous and poverty-ridden place, but now a reborn as a hostel hot spot where foreigners and locals happily co-inhabit.
The production included more than 200 extras, some of which were the neighborhood locals, and spanned for 3 days, two of which were shot with the talented actor.
The commercial is set to hit Colombian Television and the World Wide Web at the end of the year.

OUR CREATIVE DIRECTOR SIMON BRAND DIRECTS BANDOLERO FOR EXECUTIVE PRODUCER KENNY ORTEGA
Our own Simon Brand directs the sizzle reel for the new TV Series Bandolero, the story of a group of 16 year-olds who take their neighborhood’s fate into their own hands to avoid being forcefully pushed out of their homes by a greedy Real Estate developer. Part musical, part action flick, part love story, the series focuses on Renzo and his gang, who usually spend their spare time doing parcour and rocking out with their band, but end up using their physical skill to kick some butt when they see that the local authorities won’t do anything with the wave of violence affecting their neighborhood.
Executive-Produced by the great Kenny Ortega (This Is It, High School Musical), Bandolero will hit screens in 2016 after it finalizes its last round of development.
