In September of this year I had a satellite-feed commercial callback for a spot with wonderful potential. Six of us were called back and, frankly, I would have been pleased if any one of us had gotten the gig. Unfortunately, the ad agency decided to go with Los Angeles-based cast, perhaps for financial reasons. I just saw the finished spot this morning. It’s for Target. This could have been me! (Oh, and originally the gift was a sweater.)
I find that commercial really sad. I am not sure it's a way to draw customers into the store.
