The Creative Concept

“We Will Show You” – Inspirations.

The directors aimed for a high-energy film packed with humor and emotion. The style mixes Guy Ritchie’s cinematic flair with the fast-paced, exaggerated energy of classic cartoons like Olive & Tom and Tex Avery animations. In just 2 minutes and 30 seconds, “We Will Show You” blends humor, action, and heartfelt moments, keeping the audience engaged throughout.

A Three-Day Challenge in Marseille

The film was shot in Marseille over just three days, an intense timeframe given the complexity of the shoot. With multiple locations to replicate—including scenes meant to resemble London—and a large cast of extras, dogs, and even stunts involving a child, this project required the very best crew to pull it off without a hitch.

There was no room for mistakes on this film. we wanted to balance cinematic references with the wild energy of cartoons to create a unique experience.
