BMW AHEADBMW AHEAD 影像计划

The brief

BMW China asked for films that explore imagination rather than sell features — a director-led series under the brand's AHEAD banner.

What we did

Production company for all three films, with Ning Hao as executive producer.

How it was made

Each director worked in the medium their idea needed: clay stop-motion, stylised sci-fi with graphic-novel textures, and conventional live action.

Delivered

Three films plus trailers and a launch livestream.

Results

  • 2.32 billion views across three films
  • 5.3 billion Weibo reads
  • 974 million ad impressions
  • BMW China's best-performing brand films 2020–2023
