About the Work

"Born of a Dream" is an ambitious short film project in "Netflix style quality" that portrays the journeys of IWC Schaffhausen founder F.A. Jones (played by Hollywood actor James Marsden) and US superstar Tom Brady in a highly emotional cinematic experience. We show that these two personalities, divided by a century, share the same values. The ambition to dream big and to chase their dream against all odds. And it all started in the City of Boston, Massachusetts. In Tom Brady's dream, we accompany the young Tom. Since his childhood, he has been considered too weak and not very talented. But with his irrepressible will, he asserts himself at high school and college. Scouts and experts still give him little chance of making the pro league and his dream threatens to fail. Shortly before the end of the draft, however, he is selected by New England, moves to Boston and is to become the best player in history in the following years.
