Also with Mojo Supermarket, Sonejuhi Sinha crafted a film for Girls Who Code that imagined a dystopian world mysteriously stripped of all its female coders. 

Directing duo Similar But Different helmed the adorable, rousing Xfinity spot showing everyday folks humming along to the Olympics’ theme song, “Bugler’s Dream.” Spotify also tapped the pair for its “Only You” campaign celebrating the diverse tastes and listening habits of its patrons.
