We open on old side-by-side photos of young twin boys who are wearing identical attire. Fast forward to today and while they’re considerably older, not much has changed. The twins are dressed in matching outfits, and have the same matching hair style. They’re seated at the dinner table with mom and dad.
The dinner entree is pizza, and the twins are enjoying their meal, taking bites in synchronized fashion from their respective slices.
An outburst from dad starts with an emphatic “knock it off.” He says that the synchronized shtick “was okay when you were kids, but now it’s just creepy.”
Loud squabbling erupts, with the twins mocking their father in synchronized style.
Mom then intervenes, noting that the “pizza’s good, huh?”
This transitions nicely to the slogan that Pizza Inn is “one thing any family can agree on.”
The :30 for Pizza Inn franchises was directed by Ryan Ebner of bicoastal/international HSI Productions for TDA Advertising & Design, Boulder, Colo.
The TDA team included creative directors Jonathan Schoenberg and Thomas Dooley, art director Matt Leavitt, copywriter Jeremy Seibold and producer Bob Shriber.
Michael McQuhae exec produced for HSI with Doron Kauper serving as line producer. Pierre Rouger was the DP. Eric Beauchamp was assistant director.
Editor was Jon Grover of Cut+Run, New York.
Music was composed by Mark Chu of Yessian Music, New York.
