The commercial we came up with was about a couple walking in the snow. However, it was August. So, we went to where the snow was. Chile.

We spent time in the Andes for the film production. It's an extraordinary mountain range full of dormant volcanoes. I had no idea. Breathtaking. The bulk of the trip was in a vivacious city full of wonderful people. Santiago. A modern metropolis full of everything you could want. What struck me was even though it had all the prosperity and the high-end modern stuff, it felt very humane. Throughout all the hustle and bustle very few people were looking at their phones. Think about that. I believe it's called personal eye contact. Chileans are impressive. They even have tiny libraries in their subway!

Plus, art is all over the city. It's a place that celebrates creativity. Which is what inspired me. I taped together the pages of a hotel room notepad. I found a little courtyard in the hotel. With a few sticks, a leaf, and a pen I got creative. It was a beautiful morning. In a beautiful city. Really, how do you not love a place whose crosswalk symbols are kinda comical? I was struck by one other thing about Chile. It's a country where one of their great national heroes is Pedro Neruda. Not a legnedary military leader, or a famous politician. A poet.
