KILLING THE STEREOTYPE
This is an experimental collaboration where we engaged regular people(non actors) with no previous acting experience to pose/act for this shoot.In a world filled with commercials glorifying the quintessential good looking man to have washboard abs and clean shaven look, we decided to use men with beards and with non conventional body types. unlike a commercial, we had no storyboard.A bunch of experienced skill sets came together to showcase non stereotypical images of men as usually seen in advertising.We wanted to break from conventional methods of film making and yet maintain a strong visual aesthetic.what resulted was a "devised theater" film.We wanted to come up with a film that was purposeful & has a visually engaging narrative.
