A LETTER FROM SANTA
Commercial spot for a small startup

“When the creative brief came in for this project I was immediately excited. The opportunity to portray a struggle that we knew families across the country would be dealing with—along with the practical challenges of producing the spot itself—gave us all a sense of tremendous responsibility. Everyone involved went above and beyond, from the cast to the crew; we simply could not have been more pleased.”

— Ian
