MAKTOOB . COMMERCIAL

Hello.

You know you’re alone, especially when your parrot doesn’t answer back.

This is an old ad I directed for Maktoob, an Arabic social platform that doesn’t exist anymore. I shot this back in 2000 or 2001 but it was never aired on TV, possibly too vintage-y and absurd for the region at the time. Today it’s easier and more acceptable to do such commercials for the Arab market.
