Los Angeles-based production company The Directors Bureau rang in the new year with LOVE Magazine’s video advent calendar series in January, comprising three shorts helmed by award-winning director Gia Coppola.
The luxurious :40 short films star reality moguls, recording artists and actresses Paris Hilton, Ciara and Nicola Peltz.
In the shorts, Coppola captures whimsy and sensual power alike through very different cinematic styles: Paris Hilton speeds through low-light 80’s synth, starring one of her many puppies, while Ciara plays the gold-hued seductress and Nicola Peltz evokes images of high-street mannequins and makeup aspiration.
The project forecasts the ongoing direction of the magazine, celebrating big names past and the calibre of talent they expect to showcase in the year ahead.
