DORITOS-HELP.jpgDORITOS-HELP-2.jpgAdweek’s Tim Nudd points out the plot of Jason Johnson’s ‘Trouble in the Back Seat’ – one of the ten finalists in the 2015 Doritos ‘Crash the Super Bowl’ competition – is very similar to that of ‘Drama Queen’, a well-known ad from director Rogier Hesp that won the Young Director Award at Cannes in 2010.

As reported yesterday by CB, this year’s finalists include a record four advertisements from outside of The United States, including ‘Doritos Manchild’, created by filmmaker Armand de Saint-Salvy from Australia.
