To get the chance to shoot some behind the scenes photos during the making of a
Coca-Cola Myanmar commercial was a career highlight for me. Filming took place in a village just outside of
Kalay,
Sagaing Division—an area overwhelmingly impacted by
the floods of 2015 in Myanmar.
The touching
Coca-Cola commercial highlights Coke's #aTuTuMyanmar campaign which focuses on one aspect of Myanmar's culture I find absolutely admirable. The concept of togetherness is the only way communities in Myanmar have begun to rebuild after such devastation.
Coca-Cola Myanmar partnered with Network Activities Group (NAG) in an effort to help repair or even replace wooden looms that had been damaged with the help of thousands of dollars raised throughout the nation.
