We are approaching a maximum one-minute video commercial for a casual men's wear international brand. The video should include the empowerment of men, and it must portray that a man does not need to become a superhero to be the best, he can become a superhero by making his daily deeds successfully. And it should speak that you can become the best man in this world by being yourself. We will choose the best commercial out of all entries, and it would get a chance to become the signature video of the brand for their international promotion.
