    THE SPOTS

    Four :30s (with :15 lifts) feature NFL stars and their moms, who make sure that everyone is eating right. In "Scrapyard," Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and mom head to a construction site to feed a hungry worker with Campbell’s Chunky Sirloin Burger. Mom later tells her son to stop "playing" when he gets in the driver’s seat of a large vehicle at the site. "Subway" shows New York Giants linebacker Michael Strahan and his mom entering a subway car, where they feed Campbell’s Chunky Honey Roasted Ham & Potatoes soup to a passenger. When the duo exit the train, Strahan waves goodbye to the passenger through the window, as the "Watch the Gap" sign is shown inside the car; a reference to Strahan’s front teeth. In "Kindergarten," Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher and his mother visit a school, with a bowl of Campbell’s Chunky Herb Roasted Chicken for the teacher. Urlacher winds up playing "Duck, Duck, Goose" with the kids. And in "Bowling," Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis and mom take a trip to a bowling alley with Chunky Chicken Noodle soup for a bowler. As Bettis throws a frame, a young woman asks Bettis’ mother for his number. Mom replies, "36," referring to his football jersey number.

    Director Tim Bullock Goes ROGUE In U.K.

    Wednesday, November 27, 2024

    Director Tim Bullock has joined ROGUE Films’ U.K. roster for commercials and branded content. He continues to be handled in the U.S. market by Ruffian, in Australia by Scoundrel, in France by Division and in Germany by Tony Petersen Film GmbH.

    Bullock’s work spans drama and comedy. In his own words, Bullock is “all about mining for a reaction--whether it be laughter or tears or inspiration.” He is a master of adopting a tone of voice and stylistic approach that suits the script and the message. Prior to joining ROGUE, Bullock was repped in the U.K. by Blink.

    Kate Taylor, ROGUE managing director and partner, commented, “Tim Bullock has a reel that oozes confidence and craft - that there are a few big chortles to be had, just makes it for me. I’ve been a huge fan of his for years--so, naturally, I’m delighted that he’s chosen to come to Rogue--and no, I don’t need to go to Specsavers. I know exactly what I’m looking at when I look at his work. Genius! That’s what.”

    Bullock said, “Throughout my time directing, Rogue has always been a name associated with rock-solid, quality work. I like that the company represents a breadth of directors with differing styles but all united by a high standard of work. Sam Brown is particularly inspiring to me. And what’s not to like about Kate Taylor? I’ve been a long time fan of hers and I can’t wait to work with her.”

    Famously a “suit” in his previous life, Bullock started out as a corporate recovery consultant for KPMG and then an account director at Saatchi & Saatchi before he began to fulfill his unleashed creativity directing short films. These shorts just kept winning awards so Bullock jumped ship from the corporate world and landed fully in the world of... Read More
