    Director Douglas Avery, Editor Nicholas Wayman-Harris Team On Woody Creek Music Video Starring William H. Macy

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments2291 Views

    This campaign for Woody Creek Distillers features William H. Macy (Shameless) as musician Willie Creeks, who slings sage advice, sings, and picks on his ukulele, all while sippin’ his favorite whiskey. Created via StrawberryFrog, directed by Douglas Avery, produced by Film 47 and edited by Nicholas Wayman-Harris of bicoastal Union, the campaign consists of two :30s, nine :15s and this music video for “Whiskey Dell,” in which Creeks recalls fishing with his dad–and discovering the barrels of hooch he left behind.

    Macy is a part-owner of Woody Creek Distillers, and part of what makes this whimsical production come together is the seriousness he and his creative collaborators bring to the music (featuring a driving kick and a kickass band). Post and sound design were all done at Union’s sister company Hunter.

    “I’ve been cutting with Douglas for many years and it was fabulous to get involved with this project,” said Wayman-Harris. “They were a lot of fun to cut, and I’m thrilled to be involved in  ‘Willie Creeks’ universe.”

    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.
