We at c.2k are indeed a healthcare-focused communications company, and we're pretty passionate about what we do. Sometimes our jobs are for big hospitals who want to get the word out about new life-saving treatments or therapies they pioneer; sometimes it's for small non-profits trying to raise money to bring medical care to people who have never seen a doctor before.

And sometimes, like with this PSA, it's because we, like all the contestants, saw an opportunity to have fun, make people laugh and make a difference. There are a lot of great PSA's in the competition, and I think together we've all helped raise the level of the awareness about public health as we head into the next flu season.

you mean you should wear a hazmat suit all the time? that's stupid.  who's gonna do that?

[c2kmedical]

Hi. Thanks for your comment, but that is not the point of the video. We are actually saying the opposite. Maybe you should watch again.

Yeah I know they're a division. I looked them up and found out that the guy who made this, John Ealer is actually the head Director/

Cinematographer for c-2k. I don't care if they want to submit but they shouldn't be allowed to win money. They don't need it. It's like having the Lakers enter a college basketball tournament.

[ariadnezara]

My point was that you guys are known around the world and make commercials for clients like Mazda, Amgen, Microsoft etc. It's unfair for us college kids to compete against the "Lakers" . I'm glad you guys are raising awareness but you don't need the $2500 for your multimillion dollar company. How many people would have wasted their time and money making these PSAa if they knew a world renowned commercial production company was going to get into it. I wouldn't have bothered.

[mogul982]

What camera did you shoot with? Was that the RED?

[ThePhysedteacher]

At least he has the good taste to drink a white wine in a yellow hazmat suit.

[welovepie100]

I'd like to see him on red carpet with bowie tie!

[harold55464]

I'd like to see how he drinks champagne in the suit.  Doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is funny.

[rosemarie8398]

Don't you need a respirator in those suits? That guy must have good lungs!!!

Funny, though!
