David Gordon Green of Chelsea Pictures directed this latest campaign for Little Caesars out of agency Barton F. Graf, NY. The work brings us oddball characters with just one thing on their mind: pizza.
Two of the spots focus on an assortment of surreal kooks, from a pair of hungry mechanics, to a dancing window washer, to a wheelie-popping motorcyclist and his sidecar companion—all enjoying the convenience of Little Caesars “5 Dolla Holla” deal.
Eric Treml served as the DP. Katie Turinski of Exile edited the spots.
