Hornet director Andy Baker teams up with Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto (aka Morning Breath, Inc.) in Brooklyn on a delirious promo for Van’s Custom Culture 2019.

From Hornet: “Vans had worked with Andy before, so they were familiar with his style and knew he’d be the perfect fit for a brand-direct relationship.

“They’d already nailed down Morning Breath as the illustrators. And they had the concept of a Custom Culture competition planned out—a global contest where anyone could submit original shoe designs, and the winning artwork would be produced by Vans and generate donation money for design-focused charities.

“Left to do was craft a story and promotional video that would highlight the journey of entering the competition in a clear and coherent yet totally fun and creative—way.”
