“Cliff Dive” is one in a series of :15s in Travelocity’s “Travel Wishes” campaign. In the spot, we see a bird perched on a branch jutting out from a cliff. A continuous scream is heard�presumably from someone diving from the top of the cliff. Turns out that someone is Travelocity’s Roaming Gnome, who’s plummeting�pointed hat and head first�into the deep blue below. A super appears that reads, “Travel Wish #11. Cliff Dive in Mexico.” A voiceover informs us that Fare Watchers Plus alerts customers when fares drop to their favorite places. We’re advised to start our wish list at travelocity.com.

The Best Work You May Never See: Rodrigo Garcia Saiz Directs “The HInVisible Celebrity” To Address Spain’s Stigma Over HIV
Following World AIDS Day, which was celebrated on December 1, co-production companies Central Films and Freelance For track one man’s existential, and potentially career-altering, decision to “come out” as living with HIV in Spain in this public service spot titled “The HInVisible Celebrity.”

In the more than 40 years since the first case of HIV appeared in Spain, no public figure in Spain has claimed to have HIV. Viiv Healthcare Spain asks, if there are 150,000 people with HIV in Spain (or approximately 1 in 300), why don’t we know anyone with HIV?
The central character, who dons a mask of television-pixelated anonymity, gives himself an introspective pep-talk ahead of announcing his status to the Spanish public. Along the way, he wonders what will become of his career, and reputation in general, even as he recognizes that his declaration could change Spain’s cultural landscape for the better and for all of those in Spain who live with HIV every day.

The character has already begun building social media awareness with his Instagram profile, @famosoinvihsible, which began cataloging his life as a public figure earlier this fall. Still, though, the figure either leaves himself out of the picture, faces away from the camera, or dons the pixelated mask associated with anonymous admission. “The HInVisible... Read More
