Taking a break from its role as ad land’s mouthpiece for the American adolescent’s collective wet dream, Levi’s partnered with Break to bring forth “Stories of a New America.”
This is supposed to be the more relatable version of its frontiersy-sounding “Go forth” campaign. Hit a point on a rust-coloured US map to watch, oddly enough, mockumentaries of American pastimes.
There’s currently only one pinpoint, a video for the “Manhattan Beach Six Man Volleyball Tournament.” Composed of co-ed teams playing volleyball in costume, the California (?) based pseudo-event is supported by inspired quotes like “this is the one setting where people can get away with wearing as least as possible.”
And of course you have guys dressed like Smurfs. Just think of the whole thing as a less interesting version of ING’s Bay to Breakers, populated with characters from The Hills.
