The latest trends with cryptocurrency, NFTs and the meme stock craze inspired filmmaker, Cole Doran to create a comedy bit about selling his shitty car as an NFT (on the Ethereum blockchain). This makes the top 5 silliest ideas Cole has ever brought to life. They say you are only as good as your last project... But, he is genuinely proud of all of his crazy ideas. Especially when he is able to bring it to life exactly the way he imagined it.

Max is a normal dude just trying to book a trip to Amsterdam with his fiance, Courtney, but when he logs on to the airline's website, he's confronted with a jumble of letters... a CAPTCHA test. Somehow Max fails and, detecting a robot, the website locks his account. Obsessed with the question of his reality, Max embarks on a CAPTCHA-based journey to select all of the pictures of crosswalks and rotate rubber ducks right side up in a desperate quest to prove once and for all if he's a robot.

A short documentary. A beautiful voyage of man and machine, a safari of friendship, a juvenile pilgrimage into the unknown, a grand defiance of common sense and reason, and above all, a fucking radical experience.

Cole Doran partnered up with Dsrupt Media to direct this commercial for the brand Reshoevn8r. The idea was simple and to the point: Combine a performance marketing creative with a great story line for this swaggy piece called ‘Quit Babyin’ Your Sneakers.’ The Dsrupt team dove deep into the sneaker community. We are thrilled with how it turned out and this is just one of 20 versions.
