    The Best Work You May Never See: 72andSunny, Director Tucker Walsh Put Viewers In Opioid “Treatment Box” For Truth Initiative

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments5440 Views

    More than 115 people in America die every day from opioids and, in 2016, 2.5 million young adults (ages 18-25) reported misusing an opioid in the past year, making this one of the most critical public health issues of our time. That’s why Truth Initiative®, the Ad Council and the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) collaborated to create The Truth About Opioids campaign, a multi-channel opioid public education truth® effort, which first launched in June.

    Produced in partnership with 72andSunny, the second phase of the campaign has just been unveiled. Titled “Treatment Box,” this phase brings Americans face-to-face with opioid addiction, withdrawal and treatment. The project entailed filming three full days of 26-year-old Rebekkah’s real treatment experience with opioid addiction. That footage was placed on a multimedia installation in NYC  to capture the emotional reactions of passersby viewing the installation that highlights the importance of treatment and the fact that opioid dependency can happen after just five days.

    The Truth About Opioids campaign focuses on preventing and reducing misuse of opioids among youth and young adults. It’s designed to destigmatize addiction by showing how it can happen to anyone and quickly. The campaign is designed to help young people understand the facts about opioids, the risk of addiction and the crucial role young people can play in solving the crisis within their communities.

    Tucker Walsh of m ss ng p eces directed the “Opioids–Treatment Box” videos for 72andSunny.

    Ad Council, Directing Duo The Hudson Dusters Share “The Rewards” Of Adopting Teens From Foster Care

    Wednesday, November 20, 2024

    The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.

    This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
