Commercial Work
Ellis' occasional foray into commercials include his multi-narrative, interactive anti-knife crime campaign films Choose a Different Ending and Who Killed Deon, which won over sixty awards, including several golds and the inaugural Grand Prix for Good at the Cannes Lions, plus golds at the Clio Awards, and the British Television Advertising Awards. Ellis was bestowed with the Young Director Award for Best European Web Film for Choose a Different Ending and Who Killed Deon was ranked 'most awarded TV campaign in the world' by Campaign magazine in January 2012.
In these days of violence and shocking gornography, it's hard to be sickened by anything on TV - but when the stabbed guy realises he's dying (if you choose that option), my stomach turned. Great filming, great acting, great work. (Noel Bussey, Campaign)

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or work:
“If men could menstruate ... clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much.... Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammed Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields—”For Those Light Bachelor Days.””
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer’s life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
