David Jellison of TWC directed this spec piece in which people from all walks of life are in a gas station convenience store pouring beverages–ranging from milk to hot coffee to soda–into their mouths at an alarming rate, wasting most of the libations yet still qualifying as liquid gluttons. A store customer witnesses all this in disbelief but it comes into context for him when he leaves to see nothing but gas guzzling vehicles at the pumps.

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.
