 The Best Work You May Never See: DICK's Sporting Goods' "Team Hoyt"
The Hudson Dusters of Greenpoint Pictures directed this documentary short about the father-and-son running team of Dick Hoyt and his son Rick, the latter unable to talk or move his limbs.

BBDO New York and Mill+ teamed on this public service commercial which shows an ape pick up a gun and place it under his chin, about to commit suicide. The piece articulates the harm that is done to apes when they are cast in commercials and entertainment. The startling revelation is that an ape doesn't appear in this spot although viewers would clearly think otherwise. |  The Best Work You May Never See: Ford Ecosport's "Reading Your Mind"
Carlao Busato of Hungry Man directed this spot in which a female researcher can read the mind of a man in a driving simulation machine as he enjoys the ride in a 2014 Ford Ecosport. She's enthused over what he's thinking as he puts the Ecosport to the test--that is, until his thoughts turn to her as his fantasy is revealed. |
