Nike & Capsule, The White Squirrel

Commercial — Creative Directior & Film Director, 2024




For the release of Nike's Air Max 95 - Toronto Edition

We follow the POV of a White Squirrel on it's venture through the city. We meet the locals and dive through the boroughs of the city in this wild, high-energy and hilarious adventure. Going through one borough to the next. It's a film that perfectly captures the melting pot of cultures that is our City. It's a city with a collection of styles, cultures and people that meld together seamlessly.
