To get the word out about the relaunch of the Lincoln Motor Company, we partnered with Vimeo to scour the land for several emerging filmmakers to interpret the theme of the relaunch campaign by reimagining something familiar as new again.

Through the Hello Again Film Series, this concept was brought to life with Wriggles & Robbins in "Record," a short film that explores how different people live a moment set to the same piece of music, from the perspective of the record player.

We promoted this film through OLA on Vimeo as well as through targeted means in Lincoln's social channels, specifically directing the content to film-loving audiences. We were able to resurface the content during additional brand activations in the film space, thus keeping the content fresh and extending the ROI long after launch. An interview with the filmmakers contributed to backstories that fed long form content, as well as a BTS film that helps to explain why the filmmakers took the approach they did.

Hear from the filmmakers, and see how they created a rotating slow-motion camera rig to pick up beautiful details.

As we culled down a shortlist of three treatments to work with in building branded content to launch the Lincoln MKC, it was interesting to see how relationships on the other end of the treatments gelled. Two filmmakers, Diego Contreras and Khalid Mohtaseb, ended up collaborating on both their films and in the process created two distinct narratives united in aesthetic.

This film, Open Your Eyes, is a tale of new-found hope. Through Mohtaseb's lens, we’re launched into the deep and dark thoughts of an elderly man who struggles to adapt to his recent blindness. His wife has passed and his daughter has moved into the city for work, leaving him to live an isolated life in his secluded Louisiana farm house. When, for his 70th birthday, his daughter plans a surprise journey to all the places that marked his childhood, he begins to regain hope and a sense of joy for life. Narrated through a thank-you poem written by the father to his daughter, the film invites us to recognize the beauty that surrounds us in each moment, even when we cannot see it. Even when the beauty is nostalgia and faded memories.

Once again, we extended the story by creating long form content about the creative process behind the film. We broke the film down into snackable content segments, and targeted new audiences across social channels using paid tactics.
