The Delivery - Branded Short Film + Commercial
The Delivery is an over-the-top action satire about a man rushing to deliver (pun intended) the news to his wife about their child’s gender. Its a humorous, tongue-in-cheek critique at the rise of more and more ridiculous gender reveal movies online in what used to be a simple, ordinary, no-frills affair. The film stars Erik Valdez, Jonathan Lipnicki, and the late Verne Troyer who sadly passed away a day after filming concluded.
We got brought into the project by Erik who was impressed by our past action and automotive work since he wanted a hybrid of the two. Though comedy wasn’t really our wheelhouse (pun again intended), we worked with Erik to come up with some good moments of levity so the film had high stakes yet still felt fresh and light.
