Deja de ser extranjero en tu tierra – Profetas del Ecuador
Agency: VML NORLOP
Description
How do you get people to explore a country they already think they know?
Many Ecuadorians put their own country off for later. Meanwhile, people from the USA, Italy, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands and Ukraine came from far away, fell in love with Ecuador, stayed, and never stopped exploring it. They say no one is a prophet in their own land. We found seven.
For the third chapter of the domestic tourism campaign “Deja de ser extranjero en tu tierra” (Stop being a foreigner in your own land), we turned seven real foreigners into the Prophets of Ecuador. Each one knows a part of the country better than most locals do: its waves, volcanoes, rainforest, islands, flavors, living cultures and adventures. The manifesto opens with real Ecuadorians confessing what they have yet to see, then hands over to the prophets in contemplative shots. Every line is a real testimony.
The film was shot over 12 days across Ecuador’s four regions: from sea level in Galápagos to more than 5,000 meters on the Cayambe glacier, with no sets and no actors. Because the best way to stop being a foreigner in your own land is to go out and discover it.
Ecuador is infinite. Go discover it.
