“EVEN THEN”
“EVEN THEN” is a narrative jewelry spec commercial. Mixing abstract imagery with emotional tone, it taps into romantic nostalgia and positions the jewelry as a portal into memory and connection.
CREATOR, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER
SADIE TUCKER:
CONCEPT & CREATIVE INTENTION
Even Then began from a visual world, a dreamlike world. There were some shots in my mind that I knew I wanted to capture, and my creative process of choosing the product came from choosing what could lend itself cohesively into this imagery I'd already envisioned. I quickly realized jewelry would be the perfect fit. I wanted it to act as a symbol of memory and commitment. This commercial is meant to remind you of the feelings you had at first. And to display abstract imagery as this dream world is where husband and wife are transported to upon their first meeting.
PRODUCTION
PROCESS
After I sat on this concept for some time, I decided to pull the trigger on Even Then in December of 2025.
Creating a storyboard made it feel real. Creating a shot list with my DP made it feel executable. I worked closely with Boston (my amazing art director) to bring the dream world to life through art direction and stage building.
By the time we shot for two days in mid-April of 2026, my crew and talent was stacked beyond what I could have asked for or imagined.
