Lowe Istanbul might have pulled off arguably the most adorable commercial of the year. “Dreams” is a two-minute tale of 4 kids in a Turkish village who’re fascinated by airplanes and want one to land in their backyard instead of (the usual) Istanbul airport. They build an elementary runway and what follows is a visually brilliant piece of storytelling. Check it out below.
The commercial took 3 months to shoot and was directed by Bahadir Karatas for Filmpark. The shooting took place in İmecik and none of the kids used in the film were actors. They’re children from the village who were selected after a few rounds of screening. The ad is a huge success in Turkey and was trending on Twitter for 3 days. As per reports by Daily Sabah, the kids and their families are in the spotlight and are enjoying their new found fame. The ad has gone down as one of the top ten commercials in Turkish advertising history. Share this post and your feedback in the comments section below.
