 Top Spot of the Week: DirecTV's "Roadside Ditch"
Tom Kuntz of MJZ directed this offbeat comedy based on a chain reaction of events in which a frustrated cable TV customer lets off some steam by playing racketball which results in him having an accident, having to wear an eyepatch, getting beat up by some hooligans, and ending up in a roadside ditch. The lesson: ditch cable TV, get DirecTV and you won't wind up laid out in a ditch. |  The Best Work You May Never See: Environmental Defence's "How To Look Pretty Without Poisoning Yourself"
Aleysa Young of Partners' Film, Toronto, directed this spot depicting a game show in which a female contestant tries to pick from a table full of cosmetics the one that doesn't contain toxins. Turns out it's a rigged game as every product shown has dangerous ingredients. |  The Best Work You May Never See: Prairie Milk Marketing Partnership's "Downhill"
Director Mark Zibert of production house Sons and Daughters, Toronto, turned out this commercial which shows a young lass continually failing and falling during different athletic endeavors, stumbling from one to the next--until she finally finds her true calling in gymnastics. Advertising agency is Dare in Vancouver, B.C. |
