Advertising / Video

“A lot of people in advertising are frustrated artists.”

An American advertising producer in Shanghai tries to sell fast food to the Chinese. An endearing, cross-cultural, at times comical portrait of a modern day “Mad Man.” Watching this could be the best fifteen minutes you’ll spend all day.

About these ads

One thought on ““A lot of people in advertising are frustrated artists.”

  1. And so many great film makers started out in ads – eg, David Fincher (“Fight Club”) – yes – you have to have a great eye, a visual fourth dimension – you’re basically selling a story, instead of a product.
    This is very well done, with many memorable lines and great delivery & pace. Which speaks well to your eye – that you recognize talent such as this.
    Artist, yes, but hopefully you’re not anywhere near frustrated yet! You have a long way to go, Megan…
