Sabrina Carpenter stars in new Johnnie Walker campaign directed by Damien Chazelle
The singer's ongoing partnership with Johnnie Walker continues with a new cinematic film directed by the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind La La Land and Whiplash.
Johnnie Walker has unveiled a new film starring Sabrina Carpenter as part of the whisky brand's ongoing global partnership with the Grammy and Emmy Award-winning singer. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Damien Chazelle, the campaign explores Carpenter's personal "Keep Walking" journey, focusing on themes of progress, confidence and creative self-expression.
Produced by Superprime Films, the short film draws inspiration from French New Wave cinema and follows Carpenter through a series of celebratory and unexpected moments, reflecting the ethos of Johnnie Walker's long-running Keep Walking platform. Johnnie Walker said the campaign aims to capture Carpenter's approach to creativity and individuality while highlighting the next chapter in her career.
Carpenter said: "Working with Johnnie Walker and Damien was such a creative adventure. We wanted to create a true cinematic experience that was playful, unexpected, and full of personality. I'm a long time fan of Damien's work - so it was exciting to bring this visual world to life alongside him.
“This film felt like the perfect way to tell the Keep Walking story and capture the energy of this next chapter."
Chazelle is best known for directing films including La La Land, Whiplash, First Man and Babylon. The film marks the latest chapter in Carpenter's multi-year partnership with Johnnie Walker, following the launch of her signature Go Go Highball cocktail and a limited-edition Johnnie Walker Black Label bottle inspired by her personal style. The partnership forms part of the brand's wider music platform, which collaborates with artists across the entertainment industry.
