Pollo Tropical "Pollo Family Nights"
Production Company: Zipper Films

Pollo Tropical “Pollo Night Family Bundle” is a lifestyle and food commercial directed and photographed by Director of Photography Sherman Johnson for Zipper Films. Produced by Yiya Garcia and filmed in Miami, Florida, the campaign introduces Pollo Tropical’s Family Bundles, highlighting how sharing a meal can bring families together for everyday occasions. The commercial follows a family through a series of familiar moments, from gathering around the table after a soccer game to enjoying dinner during a movie night and playing dominoes together outdoors. Each scenario introduces a different Family Bundle, including the Chicken Trio, Tropichop Bar, and Shredded Chicken, emphasizing variety, convenience, and the simple pleasure of sharing good food. Photographed on the ARRI Alexa Mini with an Angénieux zoom lens, the commercial combines naturalistic lifestyle cinematography with detailed food photography. The visual approach moves between bright, sunlit interiors, intimate evening scenes, and a warmly lit outdoor gathering, using handheld camerawork, natural compositions, and carefully controlled lighting to create an authentic, inviting atmosphere. The cinematography balances candid family interactions with close-up food imagery, capturing both the energy of everyday family life and the appeal of Pollo Tropical’s freshly prepared meals.
