Healthcare company WellPoint steps into the spotlight with The ABCs of Disease, a charmingly offbeat four-minute elementary school musical about ailments and maladies. The online film is the first ad for director Conor Byrne, a Hungry Man newcomer.

Rokkan NY teamed with Byrne to create the piece, which aims to educate viewers, and drive traffic to Real-Health.com, Wellpoint’s informational online hub.
