Okay. The casting for the latest Allstate college oriented commercials is great. They hired guys that even their mothers would punch in the face. The buck tooth idiot who barks at his boss during a meeting. The other idiot with no apparent eyebrows who lets the longhorn steer out of its enclosure. It’s all uncomfortable.

Where is the best place to look at inspo for directors / style for TVC/OLV?

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

I’m a copywriter hoping to find a designer/art director potential partner that is passionate about social change. I want to create something meaningful... anyone picking up what I’m putting down?
