Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Idris Elba is a man of many talents: actor, DJ, clothing designer, kickboxer, land speed record holder and professional achiever of dreams. In this spot, he sings with a child’s voice - “Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be” - as he seamlessly transitions between different possibilities for his life. Will he be a baker or a fighter pilot? A children’s puppeteer or an astronaut? Or will he be all of these things? Whatever you hope to become, Squarespace can help with a website worthy of your dreams. Dream it. Then make it.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

In addition to his acting career, Idris Elba is well known for his willingness to follow his passions and try different things. He's a DJ, clothing designer, professional kickboxer, UK land speed record holder, rapper...and the list goes on. He frequently uses his social media channels to encourage people follow their dreams, even if that means doing many things at once.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

Portions of the film were shot for slow motion, which meant Idris had to lip sync to a sped up version of the musical track.
