Maybe I'm missing the point but my only takeaway was that the owner humble-brags over a montage of "artsy" slo-mo shots. What am I supposed to take away from this film? That his work is imbued with passion? That he has a design aesthetic?

I'm not in a position to judge the work but this feels like an ad "for the current times" - suitable for social media but short on details, and focused on an individual.

Type7 is Porsche's official social media brand for promoting the "Porsche Lifestyle".
I take it for what it is. Sometimes it's interesting and sometimes not and that's probably because my Porsche lifestyle is different than other's. I enjoyed this one because it's different than mine in many ways but similar in the "community" aspect.
