A spec spot about the fictional birth of beat poetry, shot as part of a programme called Group 101 Spots. Rob directed, with Harris Charalambous on camera and Nicholas Berglund executive producing.
Group 101 Spots ran on a simple deadline: one spec spot every thirty days for six months, each one presented to a room of directors, production company executives and agency staff for critique. It started in Los Angeles and added a New York chapter in 2005.
It was never released commercially, which is why nothing about it appears in the trades or the award archives. Three cuts exist: sixty, forty five and thirty seconds.
