By invitation of Cannes Lions, FCB Global created a series of films that broach creativity in times of vulnerability, to be shown in the Festival this year. Ten FCB offices from around the world contributed to the work, totalling 13 films, of which two were made by FCB Brasil.

One of them is the short film 'Brain, Heart & Guts', a three-minute animation that tells the story of three strange creatures in an alternate reality. Each character has a distinct personality, and they all must come to terms with their differences and learn to get along in order to reach a common goal. “The idea behind this short film is to show where good ideas are born. They don’t come from just our minds. In order to be creative, you need to bring together mind, heart, and stomach. Reason, emotion, and courage are essential in the creative industry, especially in such vulnerable times as these,” explains Fábio Simões, FCB Brasil executive creative director. The animation was produced in 15 days by FCB Studio, the new creative production group at the agency, in partnership with Studio Tesis.
