Audi commercial for AFI Film Festival

I directed this commercial as part of a contest sponsored by the AFI Film Festival, and won... I got an Audi Q7! I shot it in 2 hours, in the middle of the night (the night before the contest deadline), with no crew and no cast except for my real sleeping family (including my 9 month pregnant wife). I then cut it in my home office and turned it in the next day. Two days later, they told me I won and handed over an Audi Q7. At the time, I was at AFI with my film, HECKLER (now showing on Showtime). I worked on that film for 2.5 years, and won nothing. The Audi spot took me all of 5 hours... and got me a luxury SUV, which was great because we had the baby two days later. James Addis... doing well.
