Haribo has spent decades making ads for people who don't buy the product. The bag says "kids and grown-ups." The ads only talk to the kids — while the grown-up, wallet out, decides what to crave in UGC, not on television.
So the prototype inverts it: two adults, one share-size bag, nobody sharing. The market holding the bag is grown.

🖼️ What if a painting could capture what a photograph never could?
Not a photograph.
Not exactly what happened.
But the way it felt.
In a quiet lakeside town, there’s a little shop where people bring the things that hold the memories they’re afraid of forgetting.
A photograph.
An old letter.
A childhood keepsake.
And behind the canvas is Elias.
🎨 THE MEMORY PAINTER
Elias listens to what people can't quite say, then turns what they remember into a painting.
For this 120-second pilot, I built the world from the ground up in Cantina — Elias, his shop, the characters, environments, dialogue, sound, and the entire cinematic story.
But this isn't really a story about painting other people's memories.
Because eventually, Elias finds one of his own.
A memory he had spent years avoiding.
And just when he begins to face it...
Someone arrives at his door.
He looks up.
So... what's your story?
And that's where the real story begins.
🌌 I wanted The Memory Painter to feel like the first episode of a much larger world — where every visitor brings a different memory, a different story, and perhaps another piece of Elias's past.
A quiet lakeside town of old trains, photographs, paintings, and memories worth preserving.
Built in Cantina.
A small shop. A lot of memories.
This is only the beginning. ✨

Yo that's amazing
Livi likes watching the world with her headphones on. Riding through open fields, she notices a record store standing alone in the meadow and decides to stop. Nearby, she meets Halmo, a stranger waiting at an isolated bus stop. A shared interest in music gives them a reason to talk, and they head inside together.
While browsing, they notice a record cover change into a photo of the two of them, taken just moments earlier. Nobody else is in sight. Neither saw a camera. In a place this empty, someone seems to know they’re here. And what does Livi really know about the stranger beside her?
I created the film using Cantina, with original characters and a dreamlike setting. I combined vintage clothing, open landscapes, and a warm record store interior to make the world feel familiar but slightly strange.
