IGA “Inseparables” Celebrates Food and Friendship

The Montreal and Paris studios of Mathematic united 40 artists under director Bertrand Bey for six months to craft this tear-inducing holiday film celebrating food and friendship for Canadian grocery chain IGA thru agency Sid Lee.

Copywriter Alexis Caron-Côté at Sid Lee in Montreal: “It’s like a nice, little love story between two food lovers. We really wanted to showcase children’s curiosity and openness in order to inspire people on Christmas, and throughout the rest of the year too.”

The two-minute film, also benefits food charity La Tablée des Chefs, with IGA donating $1 to the organization every time the video is shared on social media.
