Everyone has a good story to tell about
friendship: from why friends are
important, to just hanging out with
friends and having fun. For those of you
who can’t imagine life without friends,
Academy Award winning short filmmaker,
Joachim Back and Chivas Regal luxury
Scotch whisky have released two
cinematic films about real friends.
Each film centres around a group of four
friends. Taking the audience through
break-ups, breakdowns and good times,
Back brings his trademark comic
sensibility to celebrate real friends
and the stories that bind them forever.
Here’s to Big Bear
The first film, ‘Here’s to Big Bear’,
which premiers on Chivas.com on 31
October 2011, follows Joe, Sammy,
Nicolas and Emilio as they find
themselves stranded at a train station
in the middle of nowhere after getting
off at the wrong stop. Suited, booted
and stranded in the desert in black tie,
we follow the friends on an interesting
journey that finally leads them to an
awkward moment with Big Bear…
Here’s to Twinkle
The second film, ‘Here’s to Twinkle’,
recounts the time when the friends came
together to support Sammy during a bad
break-up. The group share stories,
reflect on the good times and in the end
toast the welcomed arrival of Twinkle…
As the friends unite to share their
escapades and memories from the
comforting retrospective of the future
they realise just how much friends are
important.
Utilising the observational familiarity
that a bond between male friends enjoy,
Joachim Back has balanced the trials and
tribulations of a group of successful,
busy men while giving them an emotional
licence that allows them to be there for
each other when the chips are down. So
in the words of Joachim, “If you don’t
have a friend – get one!”
The films form part of Chivas Regal’s
ongoing Live with Chivalry campaign
which launched in 2008 and encourages
men to aspire not just to have more, but
to be more. Film and Chivas lovers alike
can raise a glass to Big Bear or Twinkle
and discover the full story online at
Chivas.com from 31 October 2011
