From The New York Post:
The video came as a surprise to Mark Castaldo, the owner of Destiny Pictures in Los Angeles, who said he had nothing to do with its making.
“Nobody contacted me,” he told the Post, referring to the White House.
He said he stayed up late to watch the summit in Singapore and woke up to his movie production company in the news.
“I went to bed and woke up to hundreds of news outlets calling me,” he said. “It’s all about this video. It’s crazy.”
The White House hasn’t responded to requests for comment.
The video sets the stage for what hangs in the balance as the two leaders got together.
Showing the sun rising over the Earth, the video continues.
“A story of opportunity, a new story, a new beginning. One of peace,” the man’s voice says as a basketball player is seen dunking a ball. “Two men, two leaders, one destiny. A story about a special moment in time when a man is presented with one chance that may never be repeated. What will he choose? To show vision and leadership — or not?”
The narrator then says there can only be two results: “one of moving back” that is accompanied by a jet fighter taking off from an aircraft carrier, “or one of moving forward” that shows lights blazing across a map of North Korea, cranes working on skyscrapers and high-rise buildings along a dazzling beach.
“It comes down to a choice, on this day, in this time, at this moment,” the narrator declares.
