BAD NEWS: THE START OF THE VIRAL HIT

Little did we realise just how successful our film was going to be. After launching it on Vimeo, it immediately went viral on Reddit where it had 170,000 views in a few hours.
Following that, it screened around the world, on major News TV outlets and then even screened in a huge cinema at Cannes AdWeek.

Brilliantly, Snickers then copied the concept for a campaign they were doing, and invited Tom and I to audition, but didn’t give us the parts.
