Just saw that the producer on Cat Herders, JD Davison was also the producer for the Grand Prix winner, “Enemy Weapon,” at the 2008 Cannes Festival, directed by Simon McQuoid.

I believe this spot was nominated by the Museum of Film & TV as one of the 50 best all time Super Bowl spots. I’d rank it in the top 5, after the Apple 1984 spot but not far behind. Well directed, well produced, excellent casting.

In the Post scipt notes “Bob Wendt” is listed as John’s producer @ Hungry Man. In fact he was the postproduction supervisor. The actual producer was JD Davison @ Hungry Man. I’ve worked with him and he’s an amazing producer. In tracking downa copy of the spot you can ask RSA in Los Angeles since John is no longer affiliated with Hungry Man.
