Justin Gallagher - Filmmaker

Dumped in the Ads and Film and People pile on February 25, 2010.

I recently came across this Shoe Biz/Asics spot by young filmmaker Justin Gallagher. I love the single-minded focus of TJ, the rider (a legit bike messenger), as he books down a quintessential San Fran street, showboating the bona fide durability of the Asics ‘66 Mexico style shoe on a fixie (of course). All sweet action. Cue the contrapuntal soundtrack by Doolan Roobenstein and you have a seriously fresh and straightforward package that delivers a noninvasive sell for the client. Heck, I even bought a pair—and fixies scare me to death.

Be sure to check other projects by Justin on his website/blog, http://gallagherfilms.blogspot.com. I also love the Adidas Celebration Commercial where Justin highlights power moves that remind me I never should have given up breakdancing (bitter sweet).
