As an actor, producer and entrepreneur, Issa Rae knows a thing or two about setting up a climactic scene. Sometimes, however, even the Insecure creator and star needs a little inspiration—and that is where her American Express card comes in.
In the financial brand’s latest ad, titled “When Inspiration Hits,” Rae—a longtime Amex cardmember and ambassador—straddles reality and fantasy inside a restaurant (selected through brand partner Resy).
Throughout the 60-second film—created by agency Dentsu Creative with Rae’s company, ColorCreative, and directed by Rohan Blair-Mangat through Eleanor Films—viewers get a glimpse into the star’s creative process.
