Centennial College Campaign Brings Student Dreams to Life

Airfoil partnered with Centennial College and animation house Bellzon Studio to create Dream Bigger, a visually rich, emotionally resonant campaign designed to inspire future students. Directed by David Kalinauskas, the film imagines what’s possible when ambition meets opportunity, using stylised animation and cinematic live action to bring the college’s message to life.

The campaign began with creative developed by Church + State and was then produced directly with Centennial College, with Airfoil leading all aspects of production and post through to final delivery. Bellzon Studio joined the collaboration to craft surreal, dreamlike sequences that elevate the storytelling and blur the lines between aspiration and achievement.

“We were thrilled with how this piece turned out,” said Bruce Williams, director, marketing and creative services at Centennial College. “It captures the tone, ambition, and heart of our brand, and working directly with Airfoil gave us a seamless path from creative to execution.”

“We wanted to build a visual metaphor for potential, something that felt like a spark of imagination grounded in the real world,” said Matthew Kalinauskas, creative director at Bellzon Studio. “It was a true collaborative effort, and it gave us room to explore visual ideas that felt fresh and meaningful.” (Matthew is also the brother of director David Kalinauskas, making this a family collaboration as well as a creative one.)

“Centennial brought a bold concept to the table and trusted us to deliver on it,” said David Kalinauskas.“We had the opportunity to push into both emotional and creative territory and create something that doesn’t just say ‘dream bigger,’ but shows what that can really look like.”
