Great work travels far, as is evident in Station Film's multiple appearances on the awards circuit this year. Harold Einstein's unforgettable smiles campaign for Crest, out of Saatchi New York, continued to add bling at The One Show, ADC, AICP and the Andys, putting the talent on the list of this year's most awarded directors. Meanwhile, Einstein reunited with Saatchi and Gerry Graf on more deadpan laughs for Luvs' "New Kid," and teamed with Mullen on its Boston Bruins campaign, starring a sinister bear. Director Brendan Gibbons added more laughs to his CV on McDonald's "Singing Fish" spot, out of Arnold, Boston and Pizza Hut, out of BBDO, which featured the "Jim Breuer Flips Out on Pizza Hut Commercial" viral video. Elsewhere, David Gray exposed a Flasher for Ogilvy New York and The Tribeca Film Festival, Vance Malone crated mini-docs for W+K's Coraline website, and collective Southpaw directed Spike TV's "Pros vs. Joes" effort with a Dunkin' Donuts tie-in.
