about the project
Casting actors for a Diploma thesis / film – Spec Spot 40-60”.
For this storydriven car commercial we are looking for Marla & Mae. They should be fun, deliver some ironic humorous lines and carry the contagious feeling of joy while driving the Porsche.
Outline: Marla (44) and Mae’s (42) friendship is sisterhood-like. With brutal honesty as a rock solid base and a „I’ll catch you if you fall and kick your ass to get you back on your feet“ mentality. Their enthusiasm is contagious, their humor dark and dry. Marla & Mae leave the big city behind and go on a road trip with their Porsche Taycan from Frankfurt through the Italian Dolomites, past Lago di Garda towards Tuscany. Along the way they collect a special form of “Postcards” which turn out as camera speeding tickets in the end.
