Olivia Wilde directed a trio of “Mac to School” spots for Apple and agency TBWA\Media Arts Lab, Los Angeles, including this “Pointed” film in which a student laid out in his dorm room upper bunk bemoans the seemingly overwhelming task before him--having to make sense of voluminous biochemistry class notes and somehow distilling them down to their essence. However, a fellow student working from his lower bunk roost is able to do just that with relative ease, deploying Summarize in Writing Tools, powered by Apple Intelligence, on his MacBook Air. Key points from extensive class notes become readily accessible. Wilde, who's directed such features as Booksmart and Don't Worry Darling, helmed the Apple campaign via production house Anonymous Content. The spots were lensed by Oscar-winning (Mank) cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt.
