Amarula: From Storyboard To Final Cut ✨

Last year, we serviced the “No Lay’s, No Summer” TVC for Baltica Films in Warsaw. Shot in Cape Town and directed by Keith McCarthy, this project was all about that effortless summer energy 🇿🇦🇵🇱

Cape Town provided the backdrop, but our incredible crew brought the magic. A massive shout out to the team for making everything seamless from prep to wrap. 🎬✨

Thank you to Tomek Hryniszyn ( ) and the team at Baltica Films () for the continued trust. We’re proud to have helped bring this vision to life on our shores because truly, “No Lay’s, No Summer.”
