A [VIRTUAL] PLACE TO CALL HOME

We partnered with Allied Global Marketing and Acorn TV (AMC Networks) for this exclusive interview between Australian actress, Marta Dusseldorp, and television presenter, Gloria Calzada, for Acorn TV’s Latin American market. While we were only responsible for the virtual directing and video capture of this particular project, we couldn’t be happier to have bore witness to this special conversation that took place across three countries - Australia, Mexico & the United States. Of course, afterwards, we binged all of “A Place To Call Home” only on Acorn TV.

THE NEW NORTH POLE

In an effort to showcase the updated health and safety protocols at Macerich properties, we were charged with producing a quarantine-proof holiday content shoot at Fashion Outlets of Chicago in Rosemont, Illinois. While we didn’t have snow or mistletoe, the center was complete with sanitization stations, curbside pick-ups and socially distanced store line-ups. With real couples and families, the new North Pole took over a section of the mall to demonstrate how Santa and safety go hand-in-hand. Santa even made an early surprise appearance.

Our crew upheld CDC and the City of Chicago’s recommendations as it relates to limiting the spread of COVID-19, including testing for all crew and talent. Masks were required on set and departments maintained social distancing. Dugud handled the full-service production from set design, casting, and wardrobe with photography and still retouching.
