61 Days to Go: NDAD’s Geico & Sundance Channel Commersh

Aug 19, 2012 | 62 Comments

So a few weeks back I got to participate in a commercial for the Sundance Channel in partnership with Geico featuring people who can do cool things in 15 minutes!  I was thrilled to be contacted to participate and the piece is finally up and running!  It’s only airing on the Sundance Channel and if your cable provider is anything like mine, you probably don’t have it :) I made a few adjustments to actually get to see it run live!

I wanted to share, because I’m super proud of how it came out.

A little disclaimer, I don’t have Geico as my insurance provider and got to do this purely for the promotional aspect for the independent channel :)
