“We wanted to delve into the mindset of a particular segment of millennials in a way that is authentic and credible,” explains The Richards Group Executive Producer Paul Nelson. “The Sherpas team was perfect to shoot this because they belong to that target market. We thought they could bring something special to the table.”
