Verizon’s commercial 'Look Behind You' is a cinematic short directed by Nia DaCosta that highlights the integration of smart home technology in daily life. Featuring actor Connor Storrie, the film leans into a moody atmosphere, utilizing low-key lighting to contrast cool blue shadows with the warmth of a fireplace.
Developed by agency X&O with production support from Lorna Searl and De La Revolución, the spot captures a sense of tension as a protagonist secures a secluded home using mobile-based controls. The execution makes use of live-action techniques and a matte aesthetic to focus on the interplay between technology and domestic space.
