Father's Day. What does it mean? This long-form piece for Toyota sheds light on the relationships we have with our fathers without being heavy handed. Cosmo Street's Bill Chessman helps craft a story of a man gearing up to meet his father for the first time in a very long time showing us that no matter what the circumstances, everyone has a father and that it's never to late to re-kindle relationships or simply just call and tell them what's on our mind.
What do most dads want for Father's Day? To spend time with their kids. Which is why Toyota sent one L.A. native on a thousand-mile journey to spend Father's Day with his dad for the first time in 13 years. #OneBoldChoice
When it comes to Father's Day, dads usually get the short end of the stick. We learned that people spend about $7 billion more for Mother's Day than for Father's Day. In fact, many dads are lucky to even get a card or call. This year, Toyota wanted to help make Father's Day mean something more.

This activation has received a lot of press over the past few weeks and justifiably so. It is the first of it's kind live action, interactive experience created in 360 degrees specifically for a seamless experience on your Oculus or GearVR. Even if a user has neither headset they can still get a fantastic 360 experience because this was also developed to take advantage of mobile devices' accelerometer.
To celebrate International Women's Day [yesterday] as well as Women's History Month [March], Microsoft urges and challenges young girls to get interested and in a lot of cases stay interested in Math & Science.

Brothers [and founders of LA based interactive design studio Wildlife] Jake & Scott Friedman recently received another accolade, not an FWA or Webby, they've already got those. They were featured in SHOOT's 2014 DGA New Directors Showcase which is intended to spotlight up and coming talent in the live action space. This further legitimizes the current crossover of interactive and live action work and adds another layer to Wildlife's already impressive offering.
The piece that was submitted for consideration, "You Only Live Twice" was initially meant to be a pre-roll for PROMAX. The short film about an stranded astronaut was concepted and completed 100% in house at Wildlife's LA studio.
