Director Bjørn-Erik Aschim, who opened the Ciclop Festival a few years back with this inspirational sequence, rallies The Line crew in London to conjure a near-future utopian landscape for US food brand Chobani.
Director Bjørn-Erik Aschim at The Line in London: “What if we created a future for ourselves that was full of optimism and positivity? This was the starting point for our new animated piece for Chobani.
“‘Dear Alice’ is a love letter from a grandmother to a granddaughter and an optimistic vision of the future of farming. It’s a nostalgic look towards a new era of agriculture, with beautifully crafted backgrounds, delicate animation, and a completely unique score by long-time Ghibli composer (and absolute legend) Joe Hisaishi. (Yeah, we can’t believe this happened either).
“We love the aspiration in Chobani’s vision of the future and hope it will sow the seeds of optimism and feed our imagination for what the future could be. It’s a vision we can totally get behind. We couldn’t be happier to be part of this campaign.”
