    Foley Ellis Ibidapo Writes, Directs “Bad Apples” In Support Of George Floyd Justice in Policing Act

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments1592 Views

    As American’s grapple with the racial reckoning since George Floyd’s murder, STATEMENT, an advocacy media company, aims to help push public opinion to help pass H.R.1280, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021, with the launch of this social spot, “Bad Apples.”

    STATEMENT founder Foley Ellis Ibidapo wrote and directed “Bad Apples,” produced by Magnus Films. An alum of SHOOT’s 2020 New Directors Showcase, Ibidapo is on the roster of production company LAIR for representation as a commercial director.

    Ibidapo explained that “Bad Apples” is inspired by Chris Rock’s set about police violence, showcased in his Netflix stand-up comedy special, Tambourine. “Bad Apples” emphasizes the ridiculousness of the lack of accountability within law enforcement by comparing it to other professions dealing with life and death situations. Each vignette features an extremely farcical situation where an emergency service technician, doctor, and a pilot put people’s lives at risk.

    Ibidapo believes that “comedy, humor and satire are powerful tools to help people understand both cultural issues and social challenges.”

    “Bad Apples” is presented by STATEMENT and the Diversity and Justice Coalition.

    Top Spot of the Week: AlmapBBDO, Director Lu Villaca Team On A Show Of Strength For Women and Johnnie Walker

    Thursday, December 19, 2024

    Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.” Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys. “The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
