I got to direct a commercial this summer!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I got to direct a commercial this summer!

Post by Ferder »

Here's a commercial/PSA I wrote and directed this summer for Consumer Protection BC, the provinces' film classification board here in Vancouver, Canada. I had a $10,000 budget to work with.
The idea was to create something to spread awareness about the rating service that Consumer Protection BC provids (and their website) so that parents and children can be better informed about the content in films and make informed choices of what will be appropriate to watch at the theater.

Canadian dollars. If it had be converted to US currency it would have been $9,280.00 but the commercial was created in Canada so no conversion was necessary.
