Recently, we were line producers for 'Rosenwasser,' a German music video featuring KC Rebell and Kontra K, which was shot in Marrakech. We facilitated the showcase of the Aprilia Touareg motorcycle in the Sahara Desert. We managed the production for Urban Outfitters summer photo shoot campaign in Taghazout. We collaborated with the fashion brand New Yorker for their Summer Collection 2023 photoshoot in Marrakech, carefully selecting locations that perfectly matched the creative pitch. Last but not least, we line-produced Pepsi's Nutmeg Royale commercial, featuring several famous soccer players, in which Marrakech doubled as the city of Qatar. Currently, we are shooting a commercial for Audi, which is shot in Marrakech and the Merzouga Desert and will be released later this year.
At Ozz Films, we are committed to providing transparent and reliable services, while building a solid relationships with our clients. Your vision is our priority, and we're here to help make it a reality."
