Here's a TV spot my art director and I did for Nationwide. We shot it in like August I think and it came out a few months ago. It was a blast to shoot. Only problem is this version is out of synch. I should probably post a version that works.
Actually, you can watch a properly synched version of it on the Nationwide site.

Cell phone usage ban: Exception #1
In my proposed ban on the use of cell phones outside the home, I have identified certain exceptions to the rule. Here is one:
Women stuck in elevator for 2 days
Two cleaning women, trapped inside a broken elevator for two days, survived on two cough drops and six aspirin until they were rescued.
Beata Bartoszewicz and her mother, Roma Borowski, entered an elevator in an empty building in this Chicago suburb on December 22. After the elevator doors closed, the women discovered they were stuck on the first floor of the two-story building.
There was no response from an emergency call alarm and the women couldn't pry open the doors, Bartoszewicz said.
Neither had a cell phone or water and the building wasn't due to open until after Christmas.
The duo became dizzy from hunger. "I was close to thinking I was going to die," Bartoszewicz said.
The women tried to sleep on their coats and used a corner of the elevator as a bathroom.
Bartoszewicz said her mother continually reassured her.
"She kept saying, `We're going to be OK, and we're going to spend Christmas Eve at home,"' the 25-year-old said.
Two days later, on Christmas Eve, an employee of the building happened to go to work. Borowski said she heard him talking on his cell phone. The women yelled for his attention and he heard them.
Fire crews freed the women an hour later.
Bartoszewicz said the moral of the story is simple: "Always take your cell phone with you."
