SUMMARY

After spending Christmas with family, I comically observed my mother learning Spanish, whilst my father simultaneously failed to keep up with my younger brothers and their 'Gen Z' lingo. This gave me an idea. And with the notoriously quieter Jan / Feb months approaching, I decided to calve out some time to turn this memory into a script and start production. This led to a 15-strong crew buying into the vision and donating their time to make it happen - allowing me to test my comedic directing skills with 3 of the 3 cast making their acting debut. The result... a 60 second spot that most adults can relate to.
