Oh yeah, people. We're making another commercial.
For those who've not heard of this amazing opportunity, (and genius marketing campaign), Doritos is once again hosting their annual Crash The Super Bowl competition. Anyone can make and submit a 30-second commercial featuring pre-selected Doritos products. Two of those commercials will air during the Super Bowl and the grand champion wins a cool "$1 million", (actually around $300k after taxes - still, nothing to scoff at). Pretty sweet, eh? I think so. Especially because if we win, the plan is to use the money as seeder capital for adapting a certain novel into a feature film. What's that? You want to know what book I'm obviously dying to name drop? Oh, just some little YA novel with stellar reviews called Salem's Vengeance. ;) Before anyone rolls their eyes, the answer is yes. This is probably a pipe dream. There are tons of worthy commercials submitted for this competition and our odds of winning are slim. But dream big or go home, people. We're filming this weekend. Should have our submission uploaded for you all to see within a week or two. Oh, and in case you missed our commercial from last year's competition. Here's the link. Happy Monday!
