here’s a lil behind the scenes from our top secret shoot💥🔥💥🔥💥we’re cooking up something fire that will make you sweat! 👀 can’t wait to share with everyone ❤️🔥
you are a rock star director and we are so proud of you! We can’t wait to see the Clarks and New York: Soles of the City documentary. gives an amazing write up about Free’s work and ✨ .sierra
To combat Miami’s frequent extreme heat waves, Coors Light debuted ‘Chillboards,’ a new experiential eco-and social-conscious campaign directed by Set Free Richardson via / Helping communities keep cool and lower utility bills, Coors Light installed billboards with minimalist ad messaging, painted by on the roofs of 96 apartment buildings in Miami. The 'chillboards' feature white roof coating, capable of reflecting up to 85% of sunlight and lowering surface temperature by 50-degrees to keep residents cooler during heat surges, raise awareness, and reduce electricity usage. We were honored to have been a part of this incredible achievement.
We can expect far more days over 90 degrees Fahrenheit than a few decades ago. Black roofs can get up to 170 degrees on a hot day affecting everyone who lives under them. Painting roofs with a special reflective white paint reduces the absorption of solar radiation while lowering the internal temperature of buildings.
Introducing Chillboards.
To draw attention to the cooling benefits of using these reflective paints, , , , , , and created the world's first out-of-home advertising campaign that no one can see but everyone can feel.
Each roof was painted with a different message to raise awareness around the benefits of these reflective roofs – including reducing the need for AC and lowering cooling costs. More than 36,000 sq.ft. of roofs were painted – the equivalent of 90 average-sized billboards, helping cool down 96 apartments.
