Publicis New York has created a touching short film for non-profit UNOS inspired by true events and real-life relationships. In the film, a middle-aged man is shown skinny dipping, playing the drum and backpacking as his subdued wife accompanies him. Halfway through his wife hands him a slip of paper and it becomes clear he’s completing his organ donor’s bucket list.

FHF: BT 'Grannies try Snapchat'
Trying to master the power of technology is notoriously harder as you get older, however, BT have released it’s latest advert ‘Grannies try Snapchat’ which promotes how the fun social media app can pick you up on a down day.
The playful advert is based upon a social experiment that BT managed, involving eight over-65s using the popular Snapchat lense. The advert captures their first reactions ranging from pure laughter to bewilderment.
We love the simple way the advert captures technology spanning all generations to enable communication. This uncomplicated amusing advert will definitely brighten your day.
