    Vanessa Bayer Rides “Elevator” For Audi, “Fifty Shades of Grey”

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments1658 Views

    In a new comedic short released by Audi of America, Vanessa Bayer (Saturday Night Live) puts her own comedic spin on the infamous elevator moment from Fifty Shades of Grey when Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey share their first kiss. In the short, created by Venables Bell & Partners and directed by Clay Weiner of Biscuit Filmworks, Bayer attempts to create her own moment by trying to seduce anyone that gets on an elevator with her–pulling out all the tricks and toys mentioned in the book; even assuming that an Audi driver’s key fob must be a gift for her.

    Isaac Chen of Cut+Run edited the short which is titled Elevator.

    Audi will be featured in the upcoming film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey, which will be released on February 13. E.L. James prominently included Audi throughout her series of novels as the luxury car of choice for her characters Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, making the brand a natural fit for the movie. Models that will be featured in the film include the Audi R8 V10 Spyder, Audi S8, Audi S7, Audi Q7 TDI and the all-new Audi A3.

    Ad Council, Directing Duo The Hudson Dusters Share “The Rewards” Of Adopting Teens From Foster Care

    Wednesday, November 20, 2024

    The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.

    This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
