Stand up comic and Fresh Eye Film Productions director Bevan Cullinan has directed a series of commercials for MTN's multimedia messaging service. Featuring Brendan Jack from Crazy Monkey fame and stand up comedian Darran Maul, the three commercials rely on music rather than dialogue.
Bevan Cullinan says: "It is Darran's outstanding performance of expectation and disappointment that brings so much humour to these ads. Brendan Jack plays the foil to the lead character, helping to make the two 'friends' a great clowning pair."
