Riveting 2.5 minute centerpiece for the new Finlandia “1000 Years of Less Ordinary Wisdom” campaign by Knucklehead Director Siri Bunford thru Wieden+Kennedy London. Killer cut by Xavier Perkins (Lucky Cat) and Adam Marshall (Whitehouse Post) with MPC providing Flame work and grade.

According to the release, the team: “Scoured the world to find people that embody the ‘less ordinary’ spirit, and whose ages total one thousand years. The team interviewed each of these characters with the ambition of distilling their wisdom into a documentary-style film, aiming to inspire others to lead a ‘less ordinary’ life.

“From a drag-wrestler in New Mexico’s take on confidence, to a former double agent’s view on identity, the film’s nuggets of wisdom aren’t the usual, saccharine and predictable set of platitudes. 1000 Years of Less Ordinary Wisdom delivers life advice that could only come from those who together have truly lived ten centuries of ‘less ordinary.’”
