Marriott Enlists Help From Big-Name Producers, Continues Chasing Millennials With Original Films

Marriott’s content studio is preparing to release its second short film, French Kiss, on May 19.

Marriott Hotels is ready to show the second short film produced through its content studio. French Kiss has a planned release of May 19. The romantic mystery follows a workaholic American named Ethan as he heads to Paris to speak at a conference at the Paris Marriott Hotel Champs Elysees. There he meets the mystical Margaux, a French woman, who sends him on a scavenger hunt-like journey through Paris, allowing him to see the city through her eyes.

The film’s producers, Ian Sander and Kim Moses, are the powerhouse team behind such shows as Ghost Whisperer and Profiler.

“We loved having the opportunity to work with Marriott in supporting its commitment to produce high-quality, entertaining content globally,” Kim Moses, the film’s executive producer, stated in a press release. “We are incredibly proud and excited to introduce the magical realism of our newest film, French Kiss, to remind the world that in the stunningly beautiful, romantic city of Paris, wondrous things are possible.”

The film will debut on YouTube and is the second installment in Marriott’s set of short films. The first film, Two Bellmen, a parkour and dance collaboration. The videos are designed to attract the next generation of travelers.
