The Neleman Wine campaign is part of the Smarthouse Wildcard Series: We inspire our directors to make something they're really passionate about to boost their portfolio's. We proudly present the first one in the row, created and directed by Maurice Heesen.
Maurice’s photography already captures a great deal of story in the image, so we felt it was time to take this to the next level and to make a couple of films that are story and actor driven.
Inspired by the quality of the wine, the ambition of the men behind it, and the tasteful label on the bottle, Maurice Heesen came up with 2 stories evolving around what good wine can do.
We use the character of the wine as a magic potion that puts everything into perspective again. People “sober up” again. The taste is so great that everything else becomes unimportant.
