Told entirely through fake commercials, this short film titled Adman tells an unconventional love story that takes viewers on a heartfelt, funny ride--one spot at a time. 

Written and directed by Ben Callner (an alum of SHOOT’s 2012 New Directors Showcase) and produced by his brother Adam Callner, Adman introduces us to our aspiring "adman" (aka Logan), his parents, and then we see him embark on his career, meet the love of his life, and experience the trials and tribulations that go with that--each chapter conveyed through commercials for such essentials as ice cream, chewing gum, double stuffed cookies, dog food, Australian tourism, stain remover and beer.

In real life, the Callner brothers over the years have worked with varied major brands including Volkswagen, Lenovo, Hanes, Motorola, Verizon and GEICO.

Production company on Adman was Raucous Content. The DP was Doug Chamberlain.
