Burger Bender was a TV commercial we produced for Discover Newport to help promote their annual burger competition, a fan-favorite event that brings locals and visitors out to try some of the best burgers around Newport and Bristol County.
The spot was designed to feel fun, bold, and craveable - capturing the energy of the event in a way that felt playful and visual.
The entire commercial was shot at Chomp RI, where we brought the concept to life with a focused production that highlighted the indulgent, over-the-top spirit of Burger Bender and the kind of excitement the event creates each year.
It was a great example of how a single-location shoot can still feel dynamic, polished, and built for broadcast.
