Ads We Love: Butter + Love

Caution! You might fall in love with this one... 

 
 

From: Butter + Love | Agency: Show & Tell

Why It's Cool: 

A girl from Kansas goes to New York City to pursue a Broadway career and winds up with a growing business baking cookies in the heart of Brooklyn.

Why We Love It: 

It's simply without being fussy. Just like the cookies. In the first minute, you feel like you've known Alison for years. Her story is one of dreams and winding paths that take you not where you set out to go, but where you were meant to go. As we saw with Founder's Brewing, the filmmakers deploy subtle techniques to allow Butter + Love's story to flourish.

What You Can Learn From It: 

Life is full of twists and turns. You likely didn't arrive where you are in your business by following a straight line (but if you did, that's cool too). However, those twists and turns can help you weave your story into the fabric of the community around you.

Patrick Kirk

No one knows the exact day Patrick Kirk was born, because he was carried into town by a pack of wild coyotes, but the end of March seems to have some consensus built around it. The townsfolk hadn’t much need for a coyote-raised wild boy seein’ as they already had a town idiot. So, they set Patrick off with the next traveling circus that rolled through town. It was there that the young boy learned of books and math and writing and other cultural offerings from Martha, the kindly old bearded lady, and her husband, Harold, the world’s tallest midget. In between shows, he would explore each new town, never having the chance to make friends with children his age, mostly because they didn’t speak coyote… However, it was on one such trek in his later teen years that Patrick happened upon a small cinema playing an engagement of Major League II. From then on, he knew that he must dedicate his life to motion pictures. The members of the circus were sad to see him go, some angry calling cinema ‘beneath them’, but Patrick took his leave and headed off to university to study the filmic arts. Over nearly half a decade of study, Patrick learned from notables such as Fritz Kiersch, director of Children of the Corn, and Gray Fredrickson, producer of the Godfather Trilogy. Patrick has worked locally in the Oklahoma City market as a grip, camera operator, and editor. He has directed a number of short films and commercial projects and aspires to do more. When not in the editing suite or on set, Patrick can be found relaxing at local sporting events or playing a round of golf. He is particularly fond of poker and has been known to frequent the local casinos. Patrick also experiments with cooking and can make a mean batch of tacos. Among things he still would like to accomplish, Patrick hopes to fly to the moon one day and get into an old fashioned pistols at dawn duel; preferably both at the same time.
