Johnny Depp Five

Project overview

Client: Castle Fine Art

Location: London

In July 2023, iconic actor, musician, and artist Johnny Depp launched a limited-edition artwork series titled “Five”. We were commissioned by Castle Fine Art to create a film that promoted the prints to the public. The film has received nearly 2 million views on YouTube.

“I’ve always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire. My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves.”
