Campaign Spotlight: PRETTYBIRD Director Matt Piedemont Directs Six-Episode H&M Christmas Campaign: Episode 3 ‘Lights Out’ Released.

LONDON – PRETTYBIRD Director Matt Piedmont has directed the H&M Christmas campaign created by Adam&EveDDB. A 6-film mini-series set in the fictional Hotel Mauritz kicked off on 12th November with Episode 1 (‘Bells & Whistles’) depicting an eclectic group of guests snowed in at an Alpine lodge. Episode 2 ‘Get in Line’ launched on 19th November and featured the hotel guests getting ready for a party. Episode 3 ‘Lights Out’ was revealed this week. H&M will roll out a new 30-second spot from the series of 6 films every week in the run up to Christmas day.

Aubrey Plaza, star of Parks & Recreation stars in the films with model/ musician Adonis Bosso. The soundtrack to the films has an 80s vibe with Tiffany’s ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ providing the soundtrack to Episode 1, and Episode 2 ‘Get in Line’ showing Plaza and Bosso preparing for a party while listening to Neneh Cherry’s ‘Buffalo Stance’. Matt Piedmont is a former ‘Saturday Night Live’ writer, and the storyline of the 6 vignettes features a narrative following the cast of models, actors and musicians.

Matt Piedmont commented: “We had three different crews…shooting during London’s summer heat wave. It was fun controlled chaos, like being at Timothy Leary’s Millbrook mansion.”
