In “The Pitch”, we listen in on a call between a director and an agency as they brainstorm concepts for a chicken nuggets ad. Written and directed by Eno Freedman Brodmann, the short is a satirical look at the mind-numbing and mostly soul-crushing experience of pitching on commercial projects, and a tribute to everyone who has ever poured blood sweat and tears into a losing bid. Painfully funny, A+ work all around.
