I just want to do the dishes in peace. Please, Uber Eats.

The goal is to match the vibe of many of their commercials: Shadowy but not to dramatic.

I used this to practice timing, I don’t normally do comedic projects but this lives somewhere between comedy and drama.

Based on a True Story

Concept:

Getting a conveniently time message that makes you want to lose your mind, but you have to come back to reality. This Uber Eats Spec ad recounts the moment I got an email from them Stating “Ditch the Dishes,” while preparing myself to do the dishes already didn’t want to do.
