There are a lot of TV ads and commercials out there. Some of them good, great, horrible, or straight up weird. But most of them are more like product-driven short films. And they all were directed by somebody. Some of them go on to be renowned filmmakers, like Michel Gondry and David Fincher. But they also tend to make their careers and continue to return to the medium. It's a great, and relatively quick, way of getting the creative juices flowing. There's a lot of 'em out there, here some that are worth a view and some of my personal likes.
