realme’s 15 Series 5G comes alive in ‘Live For Real’ – a night odyssey blending AI magic with disco-era glamour, produced by Vantage Pictures and directed by Guy Bolandi.
“Live For Real” follows a young woman as she leaves the office and steps into the night, her realme 15 5G capturing every beat of her journey. From a quiet bus stop to vibrant music and lights, the film turns an ordinary evening into a cinematic experience powered by AI.
Produced by Vantage Pictures and directed by Guy Bolandi, the film draws inspiration from ’70s and ’80s nightlife, channeling Studio 54 energy with a modern twist. Costumes, lighting, and camera movement all fuse to create a shimmering, dreamlike world.
The lead performer was discovered by chance, and Bolandi encouraged her to improvise, capturing spontaneous, authentic moments. “It’s about trust,” he says. “That’s when something real happens on camera.”
Now rolling out globally across multiple formats, the campaign celebrates energy, self-expression, and stepping into the night. Alexis Odiowei, Creative Director at Vantage, sums it up: “Whether you’re in Mumbai or Madrid, that feeling of being your truest self is universal.”
