    Director Spencer Creigh, Narrator Angela Bassett Deliver “Mailbox” PSA In Support of the U.S. Post Office

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments2208 Views

    “Mailbox” is a timely PSA to save the post office, reminding us that “The Mail carries hope. But only when its delivered.” 

    The beautiful film shares footage of mailboxes around the U.S. while Angela Bassett reads the words of Martin Luther King Jr’s letter to Congress from March 1965, advocating for the right that every citizen deserves to exercise political freedom at the polls and vote. King wrote, “Let my people vote.”

    The United States Postal Service (USPS) is vital to voting this year and King's words resonate deeply with this election just as they did back then, reiterating that “there will be a change.” Production house Florence worked with director Spencer Creigh on the PSA.

    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.
