In collaboration with Bureo and Suzuki, we developed a commercial highlighting the groundbreaking process of transforming discarded fishing nets into sustainable car parts.

Filming took place across Chile, from the rugged landscapes of Patagonia to Santiago's urban vibrancy. Each location was thoughtfully selected to showcase different parts of the journey—from the nets' origins to their transformation into durable car parts.
