Job Title
This project offers an exciting opportunity for a skilled filmmaker to create a 70–80-second live-action cinematic comedy commercial for a premium sparkling soft drink brand launching in the UK and UAE. The film, titled “Twelve Minutes,” centers on a composed man who inadvertently enters the wrong wedding, becomes part of the festivities, delivers a best-man speech, and later encounters the real best man. The tone should be dry, visually driven, and understated, with minimal dialogue and a strong emphasis on comic timing. The target audience is creative, trend-aware individuals aged 20–40 who appreciate originality and design. The final product should feel like a short comedy film first, with the brand and product integrated naturally near the end, culminating in a can-opening sound as the brand cue. Real actors, authentic locations, and physical product props are essential; generative AI is not permitted.
