Riff Raff Films’ directing duo The Sacred Egg and The Mill, whose recent collaboration for Topgolf we featured in Stash 162, are back for another intricate mix of VFX and partying – this time for Smirnoff through McCann North America.

Playing off the “life is like a cocktail” metaphor, the spot combines dance, Pilates balls, and CG fabric balls into a tightly choreographed celebration of togetherness and “the spark that’s created when different people, flavors and ingredients come together.”
