"Bad Hotel"

6 June 2025

30s

Small man syndrome.

Florence Poppy Deary's off to a strong start at Biscuit Filmworks. She directs two 30" spots for eSIM brand Airalo, who urge viewers to "pack the internet" before anything else. Why? Because you never know when your hotel room will give you the heebie-jeebies. If the decor screams 'Soviet Gothic serial killer' like it does here, you should probably look elsewhere online.

To make matters worse, there's a small man in the couple's bed. God knows how long he's been there or where he came from (his accent's so thick you could spread it on toast), but at least he says hello. The creak that follows is a lovely touch, as is the narrator's cod Spanish proverb: "One who takes the internet on vacation can arrange alternative accommodation". Muy bueno.
