About the Work
“The Bridge” is the ultimate branded content play since the world's most precious asset is people's attention. The short branded content film does an amazing job in being a magnet, instead of a hammer and it was shared by dozens of celebrities and influencers. The film has become an iconic popular culture representation of a possible solution to address mental health in a post-pandemic world. Great branded content allows people to want to watch your piece instead of being forced to do so through classic paid media ad placements. And Lou Reed’s famous song, “Perfect Day,” is just the icing on the cake. With its darker undertones and simple, haunting lyrics, was the perfect backdrop for our film about mental health struggles. Following a long and arduous process with Lou Reed's estate, we received approval to use the artist's hit song about a day in New York City to help tell our story. Because “The Bridge” is a film without dialogue, the music plays a crucial role in setting up the meaning of a “perfect day.”
