 This week's guest judge is John Larigakis, a creative director at One Twenty Three West in Vancouver, Canada. Winner: Public Safety Canada ' Human Traffic'. I was initially drawn in by the cinematography and music. I like the metaphorical device of using the shipping container to bring the viewer into a scene that they weren't expecting. Overall, this spot felt less like an ad and more like a dramatic short film that makes you think. The story and message made me continue to think about the issue after I watched it.

 BACKGROUND Those who've been to a famous 'full moon party' have probably heard of the "Sharing Bucket". It's a common sight at parties in Thailand, where party-goers share a drink with different straws from the same bucket. Groups would sit together and pass the bucket around, sipping and sharing. Sounds fun, right? But in this Covid era, it also sounds quite risky. As Thailand is one of the most successful countries in containing the pandemic, it’s also one of the first to lift its lockdown regulations. As of now, the ‘new normal’ life has resumed in the land of smiles. With people getting back together, but with some precautionary measures and new etiquette, such as the saying that ‘sharing is not caring’ anymore. VIEW THE AD
