WATCH ALL 5 ORIGINAL FILMS
There's more to the 2026 Mazda CX-5 because there's more to you. To launch this new SUV, we're presenting five original stories, told through five distinct film genres. Each features the same driver and her CX-5, but each takes a very different turn. Created in collaboration with acclaimed director Paul Hunter — and introducing actress Jessamie Waldon-Day as Ruby — the films feature original music by Will Bates and Max Levin, choreography by Troy Kirby.
