Docomo Pacific commercial captures a special proposal
TAMUNING, Guam—Docomo Pacific released a short film that captures a very special moment between local filmmaker Brian Muña and new fiancé Marissa Ricalde. The buzzing video garnered 38,000 views and was shared about 360 times on Facebook, with numerous likes and reactions.
Docomo Pacific’s production crew collaborated with Muña to shoot a mock television commercial that resulted in the actual marriage proposal of Muña to Ricalde, who met on a production set a few years prior.
Bobby Bonifacio Jr., creative manager with Docomo Pacific, was initially intrigued by the idea as Muña’s pitch came around the same time as Docomo Pacific’s “Twenty Percent More Data” launch, with the theme focused on sharing moments.
Beginning with two actors struggling to complete their lines, the female actress proceeds to leave the set as planned. Ricalde was then asked to stand in, along with Muña, to assist the actors with the desired outcome of the scene. Ricalde’s understanding of the project was to assist Muña in capturing behind-the-scenes footage. Shortly after, the true story line unveils with a banner dropping in the background, displaying the words: “Marissa, Will You Marry Me?”
Reciting his lines as expected, Muña then drops the script, revealing instead a jewelry box in place of the mobile phone used in its place earlier. (Docomo Pacific)
