Being Lily
Hank Perlman, director of Hungry Man, commented about the character of Lily: “I think Milana’s Lily resonates with audiences because she’s a multi-dimensional character in a way that’s rare for commercials,” Perlman worked as the director for many AT&T commercials.
“We try as hard as we can not only to make her funny but to make her as strong, smart and human as possible. And hopefully all of that makes her as relatable as a character in a 30-second commercial can be.”
