Polo Red Parfum is sold on intensity, so the film puts the bottle where nothing softens it: a western landscape of sunbaked rock, open road and distance.
The location does the storytelling. Isolation reads as self-reliance, the empty horizon reads as drive, and the deep red glass is the richest color in a sun-bleached frame, with a red vintage car waiting on the road behind it. It is strong, quiet, masculine energy, carried by Angus Cloud without a word of explanation.
My role was Steadicam, moving through the landscape so the scale of the place stays in every shot.
