Matt Fischman directed this spec commercial commemorating St. Patrick’s Day for McSorley’s in which an Indian man walks into a pub and partakes of a brew. With each sip of McSorley’s ale he turns more and more into an Irish guy. This comedic transformation was conceived by copywriters Scott M. Kaplan and Tom Christmann.
