Steve Harding-Hill of Aardman Animations directed this stop motion animation spot for agency Freud Communications, London, in which animal characters dispel myths about the disabled. For instance, we see a physically-challenged mouse in a playfully romantic relationship with an able-bodied elephant, underscoring that often a person with a disability isn’t coupled with another who’s disabled. “You can’t help who you fall in love with,” says the mouse.

Ad Council, ONDCP, Strawberry Frog, Director Haya Waseem Team To Combat Opioid Overdoses
Developed as part of the Ad Council’s partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and created pro bono by agency StrawberryFrog, this public service campaign underscores the vital role young people can play in reversing opioid overdoses by carrying naloxone (often branded as Narcan or ReVive).
Directed by Haya Waseem via production company Object & Animal, this “It’s Gotta Be You” PSA shows how a girl answers the call to help save another young person.
Raising awareness of opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone is a critical way to empower young adults to save lives, as the presence of fentanyl in illicit drugs and in counterfeit pills continues to put countless lives at risk nationwide. Naloxone is available without a prescription in all 50 states and territories and can reverse an opioid overdose.
