Tool’s Alma Har’el Directs Awe-Inspiring Spot for Airbnb

Acclaimed Tool director Alma Har’el is captivating audiences again with “Views,” an alluring and impassioned spot for Airbnb. The spot was cut by Rock Paper Scissors editor Stewart Reeves.

Against the touching narration of an Airbnb host describing his home and deep affinity for inviting others to share it with him, Har’el’s spot features a series of stunning images from exotic locations around the world. The spot paints a seductive portrait of the unique and thrilling experience of traveling authentically – that is, away from the confines of a hotel and into the enriched view of a destination only visible from one’s home.
