Ep. 14 – You Know This Acne Commercial – MR.TV PODCAST
If you were glued to your TV set during the 1990's, you might remember this commercial where a guy talks about his problems with acne. He mentions how people think he has it because he eats too many chocolate bars or that doesn't wash his face.
What you might not know is that the guy in the commercial was a real person who wanted to share his story about his skin condition in an authentic way.
Tim Hamilton, the director behind the commercial, remembers meeting the young man and tells us about how he used a film technique and a documentary style to make him comfortable on camera.
