Feature filmmaker Brad Silberling (Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events; City of Angels) directed this spot which tell us the story of Joe, who stands pretty much in the same place working in a restaurant kitchen yet much around him changes–realized by the actions of people and deployment of props, set elements and his donning of different attire as he continues to go about his business.
We see him move up the figurative ladder from busboy to chef at his own restaurant as a voiceover by Matt Damon relates that Joe has saved and prudently invested some of his earnings every step of the way, a recipe for common sense financial management and success as brought to you by TD Ameritrade.
The spot is one of two released thus far in a stylized yet personal story-based campaign out of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco.
Silberling directed via production house Pony Show Entertainment.
Beyoncé’s Halftime Show Highlighted Netflix’s NFL Debut On Xmas Day

Mariah Carey opened Wednesday's doubleheader with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and then the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs trounced the Steelers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
There were no signs of any major streaming issues during the game after Netflix experienced minor blunders at the start of the pregame show. The broadcast opened with roughly 10 seconds of silence because it appeared studio host Kay Adams' microphone wasn't turned on.
Beyoncé's live performance at NRG Stadium was supposed to be the biggest test for the streaming giant and it seemed to go off without a hitch.
Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns and Kelce had eight catches for 84 yards and one score as the Chiefs (15-1) earned a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The... Read More
