Overview

At Cornelissen Groep, Christmas is all about caring for one another. While many enjoy festive dinners and togetherness, this is not a given for thousands of children. Cornelissen Groep chooses to do something about this, by supporting the Association of Dutch Food Banks.

To communicate this message, we collaborated with ROSH Studios on this Christmas message centered around the theme of ‘sharing’.

In the film, we show how a small gesture can have a big impact. No grand words, just a story that speaks through imagery and feeling.

What

To tell this story, we were at a bus stop in Escharen early in the morning. A quiet, everyday setting where two boys wait for the school bus. A sandwich is shared. For children, something quite natural, and for adults, something that perhaps should be more natural too.

Our goal was to convey this message through visuals alone. Not a standard Christmas greeting, but a powerful Christmas thought: how small gestures can make a big difference.
