• The Heat resistant glass carafe is made of thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass for maximum durability.
• The Stainless steel filter keeps sediment out of your brew to ensure the purest flavor.
• The Push button carafe release offers easy and safe removal whenever it needs cleaning.

GoodCook is a kitchenware brand whose focus has been all about quality and value since 1987. In addition to being available online, their kitchenware, cookware, bakeware, food storage, and beverage products can be found at most major supermarkets, drug stores, and large retail chains.

The goal of this project is to create a :30 live action TrueView video that shows the morning ritual so many of us cherish: making that first cup of coffee. Specifically, GoodCook would like to feature their 8-cup Coffee Press. From boiling the water to grinding the beans, they want to show those key moments that go into making a great cup of coffee. Once the coffee is ready to serve, it should feature a moment of enjoyment and indulgence. The setting and situation is up to you as long it shows how a great cup of coffee can bring people together and bring them joy. Please make sure it feels modern and not too sappy or serious. It could be a light playful moment too. Check out more information about the product in the Background section, or ask questions here in the Project Forum.

For this project, once a filmmaker is selected, they will be put directly in contact with the sponsor. All communication and feedback between both parties will run through the Tongal platform. 

DELIVERABLES: Two total deliverables:

• One :30 video (16x9)
• One alternate :30 version (16x9). Alternate variations will involve the same characters, locations, and script, and will mostly involve small changes that can be handled in post-production, including changes to CTAs, end-card designs, on-screen text copy, and other minor edits. Additionally, depending on where the creative lands, a version may include a slight variation to the script. This will be decided between the selected producer and client during scripting.
