@filmmakersworld This is Mind blowing 🤩🎬🎥🍿 Director @ianisak is sharing with the community his latest work ‘Think This’ x Kayak Enjoy the behind the scenes and you can find the final work on the directors profile ❤‍🔥 📒 Director’s note and credits below👇 In today’s hyper-connected society, we are exposed to a multitude of second-hand experiences that shape our understanding of the world: Do this, think that, go here, eat there. Relying on these preconceived perceptions – formed from other people’s opinions – can be self-limiting. That is the essence of KAYAK’s new platform, seeking to encourage every person to expand their world through travel. Because first-hand experiences put life into perspective, foster unexpected encounters, and spark self-development and new ideas. It moves us and the world forward.
