Copywriter Kate Lummus and I (along with invaluable support and insight from Misplaced Planet’s Shaun Boyle and Benni Pierce) created a TV spot that we had hoped would send us off to Southern France for a week of all expense paid, sunburned, glory.

Well, that didn’t happen

Sadly, our attempt to capture gold in the Cannes Young Lions: Team USA competition has failed. Below is our submission entitled “Imaginary Food”. Have a look and see if you agree with the judges.

You can see an alternate cut of this spot here, check out our print submission here, or view all of the other entries here.
