BriefExplanation
Inspired by Intel Inside, Dell presents “What Lives Inside”. Starring Colin Hanks, Catherine O’Hara and Academy-Award Winner J.K. Simmons. Featuring the Dell Venue Tablet and the creativity of the audience.
What Lives Inside tells the story of a beloved father who spent his life inspiring kids and a son who had long forgotten what it was like to be one. While mourning the loss of “Pops” his world-famous puppeteer father, Taylor finds himself mysteriously transported to the magical world of his father's show where he begins an unforgettable journey to find something he thought was lost forever.
Execution
“What Lives Inside” is the story of a world famous father and his son struggling to find his own way in his father’s shadow. For the role of Taylor we wanted an actor who could bring their own personal interpretation to the character’s journey. When we landed Colin Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks, we knew we had something special. To round out the cast we brought in Hollywood veteran Catherine O’Hara to play Taylor’s mom and Oscar winner J.K. Simmons to play the role of Pops, Taylor’s world famous father. Since Pops world was inspired by children’s creations, we invited the audience to contribute their own creature ideas for the film via Instagram, Twitter and whatlivesinside.com. The final film featured over a hundred original works of art from the audience that were brought to life like never before with one them becoming the character that would ultimately set Taylor free.?
