My goal was to immerse the audience in the personal moment of savouring the first bite of their favourite dish and the full range of experiences that come with it by going really specific in the storylines. Whether it’s to chase the high of spicy food, to kick-start a sugar rush, or to jolt your body into action from a healthy juice shot. After writing each mini-narrative, we set the tone and partnered each film with incredibly talented artists who brought each story to life in their own distinct style. - Harry Butt, Creative Director, Nexus Design Studios.
