GB Memories

Live action

A woman’s memories carry us through decades of life at Grande Bretagne.

Context
Grande Bretagne
Role
Direction / Production / Editing

Brief

For Grande Bretagne’s annual Christmas tree-lighting film, the hotel’s marketing team proposed revisiting everyday and iconic moments from past decades inside the hotel.

Creative solution.

To connect the different decades through a personal point of view, we chose an older woman in the present day as our guide. Her memories became the vehicle for travelling through the hotel, giving the moments a shared emotional thread.

We found a natural canvas for that journey in the hotel itself. The timeless clothing from Maison Faliakos helped bring the movement through time to life.

Process

We worked with the hotel’s existing spaces as the canvas for moving between decades. The styling department’s extensive research gave each period its character, bringing the different eras to life.
