Hasta La Motion!

Film director Spike Jonze and choreographer Ryan Heffington have worked with actress and dancer Margaret Qualley (Jill Garvey in HBO series The Leftovers) to produce a bizarre playful commercial, “Kenzo World”. Set to “Mutant Brain”, a track by Sam Spiegel (Spike’s brother) and Ape Drums, the KENZO World commercial shows Margaret leaving a deadly boring black tie awards presentation to let loose in the lobby of Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles. Margaret’s quirky dance moves include shooting laser beams from her fingers and an interaction with a sculpture, culminating in a dive through the KENZO World iconic petaled eye. Spike’s Fat Boy Slim Weapon of Choice music video featuring Christopher Walken meets Ryan Heffington’s music video for Sia’s Chandelier featuring Maddie Ziegler.
