    Top Spot of the Week: SMUGGLER Director Mark Molloy, The Underdogs “Escape From The Office” For Apple

    The Underdogs are back in business–as in, small business–in this short film for Apple directed by Mark Molloy of production house SMUGGLER. 

    Escaping from their evil boss’s clutches, the team of Underdogs finds out how to spin an idea into a product, and a product into a company. 

    It’s a journey fraught with email and conference calls and birthday cakes and ballet recitals. Hires from halfway around the world, and a 14-year-old that just might take over the world. And a garage with an odor that’s a bit too aromatic–but ultimately is the sweet smell of success..

    Thanks to Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Business Essentials, and a suite of business apps, the team manages to find its footing. Because when you stick together–and your devices work together–you’ll always find a way, in the office or not.

    The four worker protagonists in this film, aka The Underdogs, were first introduced to viewers in a humorous short which back in 2020 earned Molloy a DGA Award nomination for Best Commercial Director of the Year.
