Bangladesh's First Interactive Short Film

TECNO - Kintu Jodi Emon Hoto

Kintu Jodi Emon Hoto

Fate of two star-crossed lovers

Tecno, a leading mobile brand wanted to connect with high-end users for its premium phone range. In alignment with the launch of their new phone & Valentine's Day around the corner, TECNO wanted to generate maximum awareness & engagement in social media tying their phone & the occasion together in one campaign.

On Valentine's Day 2019, we presented a unique experience no one ever had before with a Bangladeshi brand, by producing the first interactive short film in Bangladesh based on a story that resonated with the spirit of love: “Kintu Jodi Emon Hoto” [KJEH].

We created an interactive short-film, a love story with multiple endings, where the viewer can decide how the story ends based on a series of decisions they could make for the characters in the short-film. This interactive short-film concept was inspired by NETFLIX’s Bandersnatch.

WebAble really knows how to take a simple idea and transform it into an effective communication that moves the audience. Their communication has helped us achieve many milestones together. We are glad to execute the award-winning campaign with WebAble.

Visually Invested - Reinventing Drama

We designed a landing page highlighting the latest phone from TECNO and the site was optimized to be highly responsive to both desktop and mobile devices.

The critical decision-making scenes in this short film were strategically placed around the phones, subtly and seamlessly branding the TECNO products.

Pick-a-path

Take control of the film

Instead of passively watching, viewers became emotionally involved in the plot and moral of KJEH as they immediately saw the effects of their choices in what happens to Tisha and Yash's life. What they chose, changed what s/he did and how they felt instantly.

Interactive - Custom Tailored

Ahead of the launch, we did a 24-hour live countdown and promoted trailers, using cinemagraphs, statics, and 3 original music tracks. Besides content dissemination via Facebook and YouTube, there were Press Releases in national dailies. The cast & musicians were interviewed on TV/radio shows too.

Original Sound Track

Strategic product association

We created 3 original music tracks for KJEH including a romantic score, "Bishorjon". The objective of the song was to create content that would engage the lead casts & showcase the phone with melodious music which would grab people’s attention.

We wanted to set a premise for the romantic film & convey the strong emotions associated with the roles the characters played while they used the phones.

All 3 soundtracks in this film were made with young & aspiring new musicians.
