Johnnie Walker “Astronaut” Looks Ahead to Social Re-entry

The team at Nash in São Paulo delivers powerful VFX support in this spot celebrating both Johnnie Walker’s 200th-anniversary and the (eventual) return of humans to social normality for Iconoclast directors Ian Ruschel and Gabriel & Quemuel.

The spot, commissioned thru AlmapBBDO, features a VO and cameo by John Daniel “Danny” Olivas, a former American astronaut whose experience on two space shuttle missions provided inspiration for the film.
