From the television commercial for Bluebeard’s Revenge.
On June 18th I travelled to 5 continents with filmmaker Adrian Butterworth of Adelia Television. The story was received with interest across the globe and has so far received press coverage in 17 countries on four continents. It will all turn into a documentary film later this year, although a preview has already been made available in English and Norwegian. The preview has been watched by people in over 100 countries on Youtube.
It has also impressed manufacturers of various travel related gear, such as hand luggage friendly grooming products from Bluebeards Revenge. They provide for high quality shaving experiences, their slogans being Travel Hard Shave Easy and Train Hard Shave Easy. They wanted me to star in a television ad, and gave me an offer I was unable to resist. So I suddenly found myself shaving in front of the camera in a small hotel downtown Caracas, one of the murder capitals of the world. The hotel was well protected though, so I ended up shaven, not stirred. The result can be seen here, on their website.
What an incredible global journey, turning a personal experience into a fascinating documentary and commercial! "Shaven Not Stirred" perfectly captures the adventurous spirit, especially after hearing about shaving in Caracas. It's truly inspiring how a story can travel so far and spark such interest, even leading to a TV ad. For anyone looking to distill such compelling narratives into engaging content, I highly recommend checking out the Video Prompt Generator to help bring those ideas to life.
Manufacturers of a variety of travel-related products, including geometry dash grooming products that are compatible with hand luggage, have also been impressed.
