FUN GUS

A hygiene PSA disguised as a comedy short, starring one man's worst fungal nightmare.

THE ITCH YOU CAN'T IGNORE

This project began as a self-initiated concept that reimagines the discomfort of a fungal infection as a clingy, unwanted sidekick named Fun Gus. I leaned into surreal comedy and classic horror tropes to create a memorable hygiene PSA that puts Defense Soap at the center of the solution.

MY ROLE

  • Creative concept and scriptwriting

  • Character and wardrobe design

  • Casting and direction

  • Production logistics and post

  • Music and tone supervision

APPROACH

The story plays out like a sketch comedy — simple, strange, and effective. Humor helped disarm the topic while reinforcing Defense Soap’s product benefits in a way that’s easy to remember and hard to ignore.
