“I don’t wash.”
Westpac in New Zealand has followed up a campaign that invited kiwis to start asking questions about their money with a comedy ad introducing a group of ageing flatmates still forced to share because they haven’t got a home of their own yet.
The ad from Ddb Nz was directed by Tim Bullock, one of agencies’ favourite choices for directing funny commercials.
One question the bank has been asked through its Facebook app is: ‘What do I need for a house of my own?’

A flirtatious tradie, a flustered photographer, a gang of flaming skateboarders, a rock band with disabilities and a Caravaggio painting made from beer drinkers all helped decorate Australia’s most prized ad directors. Robin Hicks interviews.
Garth Davis, Exit Films
Garth Davis went all the way to Mexico to shoot Ride, a long-form commercial for Coca-Cola’s new energy drink, Burn. Los Angeles had been an option for the cityscapes he wanted, but there was no way he could have got away with setting fire to skateboarders on busy city streets there.
Davis won a film lion and also a film craft lion at Cannes for a raw, smokey four minute video in which a gang of skateboarders race on motorways, dodge cars and jump off buildings with their clothing in flames.
A team of body fire experts were brought in from La for the shoot, which took just over a week.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- A black comedy called Buried, which chronicles the misadventures of two men trying to dispose of a body, took out the main prize in the 11th annual Tropfest short film festival on Sunday. Widely acknowledged as the country's highest profile short film event, Tropfest was held in Sydney and simulcast in five other cities to a total national live audience of more than 100,000. The main prizes were handed out by Russell Crowe, who was on a judging panel that also included director Gillian Armstrong, producer Andrew Mason and actress Claudia Karvan. For Buried writer-director Tim Bullock, it was a case of third time lucky -- his films have made it into the event's semifinal list of 16 for the past two years, but this was his first major win. Tropfest, which this year attracted a record 723 entries, was initiated 11 years ago as a cafe event by Australian actor-director John Polson (Swimfan) in order to give new filmmakers additional exposure. Its alumni include director Gregor Jordan (Buffalo Soldiers and the upcoming Ned Kelly) and actor Joel Edgerton.
