THE PITCH

"TAME THE BEAST" is a horror/comedy 60 second spot that combines the worlds of hipster barbershops with vintage monster movies for an engaging and nostalgic experience that will attract young male customers! 

​

HERE'S THE GIST...

"When a vicious werewolf enters a barber shop, the barber quickly sits him down and shears off his hair, leaving behind a handsome bearded gentleman...

​

...and just when you think its over, the Gill Man enters! But sorry bud... we just do hair here."

​

This spot will be shot like a cinematic movie (cinematography, editing, acting, "the whole 9 yards.") and is meant to be a fun and thrilling short to go viral and be shared with friends, putting more eyes on your business.
