Volvo: Environmental Visionaries

How do you make a remote conversation feel more intimate?  Two camera teams in 2 cities and some split screening.

Best Wishes was brought on by the Washington Post to produce a remote conversation with two Climate Artist/Activists about their dreams for a better climate future.  Maya Penn and Yazmany Arboleda are both active figures in the climate conversation and their work is focused on the positive change that can come from tackling a global problem.

Volvo sponsored this conversation to emphasize the need for creative thinking in tackling complex challenges.  With a history of people-focused safety and collaborative research, Volvo is pushing initiatives that will reduce emissions and create a cradle-to-cradle lifespan for all of their vehicles.

Creative thinking also made this production possible.  With teams in New York and Atlanta, we were able to bridge the digital gap and make this conversation between creatives feel like a living-room chat.  We love how challenges force creative solutions, and and are hopeful for the future Maya & Yazmany are envisioning.
