Last year, husband John worked with the nonprofit organization Oceana to write and direct a humourous commercial about the plight of the merpeople, whose habitat and chances for a hot date are being destroyed by reckless overfishing. The idea was that the fake campaign would encourage people to get behind a real (and very important) cause.
The finished commercial and accompanying website are now online for all to see. (My friend Sarah Ries stars in it as the lovely-but-desperate “Merbachelorette.”)
If you like what you see, please visit the website to find out how you can help protect ocean life and ecosystems. The merpeople will thank you.
Great commercial! The extras were fun too, Sarah was such a good sport with all those passers by!!
