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.
