A Firestone Walker & Meta Film by Sebastien Zanella

“Let Your Mind Wander” is a collaboration film between Firestone Walker and Meta. I first met Ben, one of the founders of Meta, a few years back while I was at Ernie Ball. He had seen my film with Tom Delonge and a mutual friend, Mark at BMW, connected us. Ben was interested in working with Tom, I connected them for a killer film and print feature on Tom, his music, and his passion for motorcycles.

When I landed at Firestone, we had been working with Meta on the 805 beer front for a minute, so when I called him to let him know I joined the beer business, we got up and running pretty quickly to help tell the story of Firestone Walker thru several collaborations, including this film with an incredible french film maker named Sebastien Zanella.

I had this concept of a trippy film thru the fog of Big Sur, Ca for one of our new Hazy IPA’s - Mind Haze. Ben picked up on the concept, he pulled in Sebastien and the rest is history. The boys spent the night at my place in Paso, we brainstormed a bit and they delivered an incredible little film titled “Let Your Mind Wander”.
