As a celebration of spontaneous inspiration and creativity, Adobe Creative Cloud, in collaboration with creative advertising agency Pereira O’Dell launched a nationwide competition for college students to create a movie poster for a film that had yet to be created–until now.
Created by Boston University student Sam West, the winning poster was selected out of more than 1,1000 submissions, and inspired In The Time It Takes To Get There, a short film written and directed by Zach Braff, marking his first creation at his new roost, RSA Films. The short was lensed by cinematographer Mauro Fiore, ASC, an Oscar winner for Avatar.
The quirky comedic, RSA-produced film features elements of West’s winning #MoviePosterMovie poster and sports a cast which includes Alicia Silverstone and Florence Pugh. In The Time It Takes To Get There is a celebration of individual creativity and testament of the success of Adobe & Pereira O’Dell’s unique approach to branded content that puts the consumer in control.

American Family Insurance connects with Marvel Studio’s Captain America: Brave New World--which hits theaters this week (2/14)--on a campaign which reflects the parallels between the insurance company’s Red Roofline and Captain America’s iconic shield as trusted symbols of protection.
This :45 cinema ad features original footage with Anthony Mackie as Captain America in an action-packed sequence that concludes at a family’s home. Introduced by American Family Insurance’s distinctive musical jingle, we hear a voiceover reminding viewers “Life’s better when you’re under our roof because we help protect your dreams.” As Captain America checks on the family, their son remarks, “I like your shield.” Captain America looks upward to the red roof and responds, “I like yours, too.” The ad ends with the company logo and its long-running tagline, “Insure carefully, dream fearlessly.”
The :45 cinema spot and :30 TV version were directed by Anthony Leonardi III via production house Eleanor for ad agency Elite Media.
