On June 6th, Palm releases its highly anticipated smartphone, the Palm Pre. To stir the anticipation for the release, m ss ng p eces was commissioned by Boston-based Modernista! to create a behind the scenes documentary of the Palm Pre 'Flow' TV spot directed by Tarsem.

While on location in China, m ss ng peces developed a mini series of vignettes that explored the themes of the Pre campaign.
