A Cannes Lion in Our Midst!


After a surprise Best in Show win at the national Addy's, Jerry Brown's Washington Lottery spot "Birds" has stepped into the international spotlight at the prestigious Cannes Lions advertising festival. Out of over 3000 entries, only 86 awards are given. Out of those 86, only 13 American directors took home awards, including our own Jerry Brown of Sticks + Stones!

Congratulations to the whole team!

Jeffrey DeChausse Peeks Into Your Past...


More great work from Boxer, this time by Jeffrey DeChausse for Ancestry.com. In this series of spots, 5 different people tell their stories of how Ancestry.com uncovered their personal histories, ultimately shedding light on themselves and bringing their families closer together. Heartwarming, human stories and beautiful visuals - DeChausse's trademark combination - bring these lovely spots together.

Watch them here, with the rest of Jeffrey's reel.

Yuval and Merav Nathan Rock the Saatchi New Director Showcase at Cannes


When this music video for "Her Morning Elegance" first hit the internet a few months back it caused quite a stir, quickly reaching Viral Video Chart's number one spot and staying there for some time as it bounced around the blogs and social networking sites...probably for the same reason that it made it's way into Saatchi's New Director Showcase at Cannes. It's simply a beautiful and unique piece.

Congratulations to Yuval and Merav Nathan at Acme Filmworks!
