Last chance to vote for Aussie Peter Carstairs’ Doritos Crash the Super Bowl entry ‘Ultrasound’
As previously reported by CB, Australian filmmaker Peter Carstairs, who is represented by Melbourne production company Mr Smith, has made it to the finals in the 10th and final edition of the US$1m Doritos Crash the Super Bowl competition with his hilarious entry “Ultrasound“.
The spot has now been watched by more 27 million people on Facebook pages around the world. But views don’t equal votes. And to win they need votes.
Fans can vote once per day per device, and Carstairs will need a ton of support if Australia is going to Crash the Super Bowl in this year’s final competition. Voting closes this Sunday January 31.
VOTE NOW for Ultrasound.
The spot was written by Heath Collins and Liam Jenkins of Cummins and Partners.
Competing against 4,500 ads submitted from 28 countries, Australia has created history as the only country outside of the US to ever make the finals three years in a row.
Carstairs now needs support to make it third time lucky and become the first ever Aussie grand prize winner.
The filmmaker who receives the most votes will be aired during the Super Bowl wins US$1m and receives the opportunity to collaborate with renowned director Zack Snyder while working with Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment – AKA the career boost of a lifetime.
The three finalists are:
“Ultrasound” by Peter Carstairs, Australia
“Doritos Dogs” by Jacob Chase, USA
“Swipe for Doritos” by David Rudy, USA
In a change from previous years, the two other finalists who do not take the top prize will each receive $100,000 USD and an opportunity to consult on an upcoming Doritos project.
Australia has a strong history with the competition, with Tom Noakes’ “Finger Cleaner” being the first international finalist in the comp’s history and racking up more than 4 million views on YouTube. Australia again showed its strength last year with Armand De Saint-Salvy’s “Doritos Manchild” making it to the final 10. Carstairs’ entry “Ultrasound” could bring Australian creativity to the foreground on the global stage at one of the most popular televised events of the year.

Thanks so much to any of you who have voted for us. Remember you can vote every day on every device – so laptop and phone – and I guess anything else you can wrangle.

Hey Shameless Loser, change your first name to Pathetic! These guys have worked hard and done an amazing job to make it into the top 3, yet here you are attempting to burst their bubble with your tiny little prick. Get over yourself, and while you’re at it, go back to school and learn how to spell.
This is a cool marketing strategy – get small production companies to make lots of free shareable ads. Unfortunately, the spots are all garbage. Small production companies tend to scrimp on important things like, say, writers. Idea is king. Think before you shoot people.
You don’t belong here, poser.
This dog is you.

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
What’s the point of this tall poppy hating crap? It’s a funny ad. We’re not brain surgeons, no need to take ourselves so seriously.
It’s memorable. It heroes the product. It makes you laugh =success. Well done.
I think it’d be fairest if someone trying to break into the industry and build their reel won rather than working professionals who shouldn’t really be entering such a competition in the first place.
If you win you should be able to change Zack Snyder’s name to Snack Zyder. Appropriate? Relevant? Stoopid? YES!
