M&M’s Christmas Commercial - Reynald Gresset

M&M’s - Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel - Reynald Gresset - BBDO (2017) M&M’s Unwraps a Sequel to Its Classic Christmas Ad. Will you guess who saves the day? This sequel picks up the tale from the moment Saint Nick and Red hit the deck. Reviving Kris Kringle so the holidays could continue apace would have made far too much sense. Instead, Yellow proclaims “I have to save Christmas!” and embarks on a yuletide ride that goes off the rails, as he delivers the wrong presents to people across the globe. The TV Advert titled Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel was done by BBDO advertising agency for M&M’s in France. It was released in November 2017.

His path as a Filmmaker grew when he joined an International news report agency traveling from Afghanistan to Japan and South Africa to Costa Rica. These early experiences shaped his interest in the world’s ever changing human landscape and the power of creative expression, feeding a curiosity that has only grown with his experience. His desire to constantly evolve as a director and master the craft of filmmaking prompted his transition into commercials. Reynald has directed numerous successful campaigns for Facebook, Google, Ikea, Chase, Nissan, Ikea, MM’s, Qualcomm, Comcast, Lexus, Samsung, National Geographic, Quaker, Mass Effect, Activision, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Peugeot, Infiniti, Renault, Honda, Mitsubishi, T-Mobile, Toyota, Heineken, Verizon, Orange... These projects all showcase his ability in moving rapidly between moods, feelings, genres and narrative styles. His Adopt Sci-Fi and Leroy Merlin Life’s Adventure won a coveted 2 Cannes Lion for Euro RSCG and for BETC. Reynald’s approach to filmmaking is led by his desire to understand the personal dimension of a story and to capture with his camera meaningful fragments of human experience. Naturalism and a photographic sensibility in the use of light infuse Reynald’s aesthetic with the patina of life. His is a lucid and yet poetic look that translates on screen into visually sophisticated, cinematic, and truly vibrant imagery. Reynald currently lives in Los Angeles.
