"The script really resonated with me because as a young director, I’m still starting something," says Mace. "I treated this one like a sensory film where you can really feel all the elements combined," he adds.

Mace says that he would like to give praise to DOP Fabian Vettiger, art director Elmi Badenhorst, editor Stephen du Plessis, and Simon Ringrose from Say Thank You for the way each discipline complemented each other.

Start Refreshed was conceptualised by 140BBDO’s creative team of Mike Schalit, Alexis Beckitt, Bianca Bernstein, Jarrad Pitts, and Bruce Harris.
