Stay Distracted with Avocados and Coconuts Online Journal
What do you get when a production team that thrives on the churn of creative development and large scale commercial shoots, is forced to shelter-in-place? You get the Avos Journal. A compilation of original films, articles and photo essays (all created while maintaining distancing protocols during the lockdown) from San Francisco-based creative production agency Avocados and Coconuts. Featuring a 60km run around the outside of a director's house, stunning drone shots of empty urban spaces, real one-star National Parks reviews, and a beautiful portrait of the experience of social distancing, this is an internet rabbit hole worth falling into.
Avocados and Coconuts created the online Journal to keep themselves sane and to direct some of its creative energy during this uncertain time.
