Once upon a time, a little boy lost his dad on 9.11. He moved to his uncle’s hotel called Browns in Bath, an English village. The boy had a lovely pastoral-peaceful childhood in Bath and Ireland. Wanting to live his father’s dream, the little boy grows up to win the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016. Featuring sparse 3d mixed with live action and beautiful new music from Urban Gypsies. (6.50 minutes).

    Not only is it a good short, but cut down to 20 seconds with the beginning of the 'Dad said,' text, it would be a great TV ad for the Brazilian stations harping the coming Olympics. Very well done and with great sensitivity.
