“The Curious Map” for the Tennessee Aquarium
A WES ANDERSON INSPIRED TV SPOT DIRECTED BY LEIF RAMSEY
A child’s hand smoothes a Wes-Anderson-style world map. Another child’s hand reaches in and taps on a continent: Antarctica. Eyes raise with a question? Eyes respond with a nod. Narrator: "Explore the world in one amazing place, at the Tennessee Aquarium."
We produced a hero TV30 spot for broadcast and social, and :15s and :10s cutdowns. Just for fun, there’s a director’s cut :60 that gives the commercial a full Wes Anderson treatment, featuring the map and characters.
Leif Ramsey directed the commercials. The production for the spots was a collaboration with the marketing team at the Tennessee Aquarium.

Did you know that otters are treat motivated? They’ll do anything for a carrot. Trust us, they were shameless in their frolicking. You can browse the director’s treatment and see behind-the-scenes photos from production here.
CINEMATIC MOMENTS
To bring the director’s treatment to life the DP, Chris Stiles, leaned in with the perfect marriage of pixels and glass. The spot was filmed on IMAX spec’d Sony VENICE with anamorphic lenses.
#VisitChatt for Chattanooga Tourism
DIRECTED BY LEIF RAMSEY
Chattanooga’s tourism industry didn’t take 2020 lying down. They put out the Bat Signal and said, all you “hair-on-fire Risk Takers” and “art-loving Experience Collectors,” it’s time to #visitchatt.
We produced two sets of creative: “Risk Taker” and “Connoisseur.” :30s ads were the hero content for the campaign , and :15s and :06s cutdowns used for preroll ads and social.
Leif Ramsey directed the commercials. The production for the spots was a collaboration with tourism specialists at the Miles Partnership.
