    The John Lewis one would be exceptional had they not butchered a Lennon song. Aside from that it's mega and beats the living hell out of their previous ads.

    A friend of mine worked on that one, constantly banging on about penguins for weeks and nobody could figure out why!

    The coca-cola one always gets me in the mood for Christmas.

    I work for Sainsburys at the minute...

    Can tell you the blue bar of chocolate seen is apparently going on sale and all profits are being forwarded to the Royal Legion...

    Will be buying a bar!

    Lucky boy! I'd kill for a job on a production like that, as it stands I'm struggling to get work on a production for fecking lidl or aldi.

    He's a she actually but yeah, she does loads of great looking stuff. Not entirely sure what she does exactly but she's got more contacts than Del Boy this one.

    I'm actually spending Christmas with her, and no doubt more stories about 'Monty'.

    What is it you do mate? To save me digging out Comm's old thread from 5 months ago.

    She's a grafter mind, always on the go. She does some casting, some production stuff and some stuff for Disney that's about as much as I know.

    Studied advertising at art school and since then have been approaching production companies to direct, mainly want to write and direct which I will but it's tricky to get paid work to begin with. Struggling to get anything on that front, so just doing stuff for my reel at the moment,

    A lot of the time is spent writing scripts for online content/adverts/shorts/animated shorts in my kitchen that no one will ever see <yikes>

    Tricky business to get into but worth the initial struggle and inevitable skintness.

    Sainsbury's and John Lewis ones are great this year, give you a proper warm feeling. I'll give it to Sainsbury's just for the footy!

    I'm gonna speak to her mate, at Christmas and find out what kind of say she's got and who she knows in the industry. It's always easier to approach stuff like that after a few drinks, I usually struggle for conversation with her anyway so that'll give me something to go on.

    If there's anything in it for you I'll gladly put you in touch with her mate. She's done Disney stuff, worked on a set with Pharell, all sorts. Looks great what she does.

    Don't put yourself out mate but that would be really appreciated. I'll PM you closer to the time with any details you might need.

    It's always good to speak to different people and get different feedback/advice. Something I've learnt is it's not the best people who get the work, it's the stubborn ****ers who won't give in.

    Which is cracking news for me. I'm stubborn as ****.

    Haha, yeah it's the same here mate, when I'm interviewing candidates I've often given the job to somebody based solely on their interview and not their extensive list of certificates. You get the CV w**kers calling up saying "I don't see how I didn't get the job with my experience"... probably because you're the type of person who calls up to say things like that!

    I won't be put out at all mate, any info you've got I'll be happy to pass on to her if you PM me nearer Xmas, like I say even if there's nothing going on at her place she's got contacts coming out of her arse and everybody loves her.
