New NBA Spec Commercial, "Nine To Five" featuring Antoine Hood!

Update #2 · May 16, 2012 · comment

Hey folks!
Last fall, I wrote and directed a spec commercial called "Nine To Five" for the 2012 NBA Summer League featuring Antoine Hood, the subject of my feature documentary, Dreams Don't Die.

The spot was just accepted to two major commercial contests as an Official Selection in the 2012 SHOOT Online New Director's Showcase and as a nominee for Best Student Commercial in the 2012 AICP Awards!!!

I'm uploading the commercial here so everyone can check it out and continue to spread the word about Antoine and the film. 

You can also check out the commercial on the AICP shortlist site here: http://awards.zesteronline.com/aicp/shortlist/details.php?catID=19&entID=1942&subID=969&type=aicp

PLEASE continue to pass on the word about our Kickstarter campaign and Dreams Don't Die!  Share the link on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, send out emails, blog about the film...anything you can do helps!

Here is our Kickstarter link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jryanj/dreams-dont-die

This story goes well beyond the life of one man or even the world of basketball, and I can't wait to share it with all of you!

Your support means everything.

Thank you,
John Ryan Johnson
Director, Dreams Don't Die
