The team at ROOF Studio in New York engage their talents for hyper-detailed worlds and characters to elevate this film designed to raise awareness of NTM Lung Disease for biopharmaceutical brand Insmed thru agency AREA 23.

Guto Terni, ROOF Studio co-founder/CD: “We took a folkloric Pinnochio-like approach to tell not only the story behind the physical symptoms of NTM, but also the social ostracization from the chronic cough that patients endure with the condition.

“This approach allowed us to use rich, poetic visuals with a character-driven story around Barbara the Bunny to engage the viewer with the deep concerns of NTM sufferers and their experience. At the same time, it lent us room to be playful and humorous to bring a hopeful tone to the conversation around NTM.”

Vinicius Costa, ROOF Studio co-founder/CD: “We wanted to design places that would feel rich and inviting, places that you may even wish to visit.

“We pursued an extremely high level of detail in every asset to create an experience that would encourage people to keep following this story along through the behind-the-scenes materials in social media.”
