JUMP CUTS A FAUX LOVE STORY FOR VERIZON WIRELESS

The Brief:
Michael Saia of jumP worked with Hungry Man director Allen Coulter to cut this comedic spot for Verizon Wireless; reminiscent of a French romance film where a woman runs through an airport looking desperately for her love. Obviously distraught, her gaze falls upon a man who she readily embraces. Sobbing uncontrollably, with English subtitling, she cannot say goodbye. The camera pans to reveal the man is no other than Verizon's famous "test man". With his network behind him, he hands her a Blackberry and tells her it doesn't have to be goodbye.
