Tongal

The goal of this project is to create a 2-5 minute video to bring David’s “Tough Story” to life in a creative and compelling way. Document the marvelous drama of the monument’s creation and film the dedication ceremony on July 21st. We want to demonstrate that Gorilla Glue is the toughest on the market. We’d also like to highlight the character that is David Roy, and his ingenious use of Gorilla Glue. Keep the tone of this piece inspirational and focus on the impressiveness of Idyllwild’s Monument.

--Key Marketing Messages:
