FILMING NEW FUJITSU COMMERCIAL 2013 - THE DREAM

FILMING NEW FUJITSU COMMERCIAL

HOAKALEI COUNTRY CLUB

EWA BEACH, HAWAII

Completed filming new Fujitsu Air Conditioning commercial in April at the Hoakalei Country Club and at our home in Honolulu.  This years spot features yours truly your blog author and the beautiful local model Ashley Jardine.  A Fujitsu commercial in Hawaii would not be complete without my daughter who has been starring in them since she was three years old.  She is featured in the only speaking roll at the end of the spot.  This years spot is golf inspired with the concept coming from me and the script and final writing by local television and film producer/director Jon Brekke.  Jon is great to work with on commercials and this one was right in his wheel house because he spent a few years as a cameraman for golf events.  Jon has his first motion picture coming out this year and has directed and produced both television and film in Hawaii for over 15 years.  I don't want to give out all the details of our new commercial, but it has to do with me having a terrible day of golf with three friends. After the round of golf, I return home frustrated and fall asleep.  There is a dream sequence that brings in Ashley to be my Caddy.  Couple the beautiful Caddy with Fujitsu Air Conditioning and you have the spot.  We filmed the golf sequences on the 13th Hole at Hoakalei Country Club.  This is a beautiful hole that is surrounded by water on three sides.  Our thanks to Mike Biscotti, the General Manager Hoakalei for setting us up to film and giving us golf carts and access to the club.  Mike was a true gentlemen and is a former quarterback for the University of Hawaii Football team.  Great fan of Hawaii and our Bows.  The commercial concluded at our home where the dream sequence was filmed.  This was my commercial debut as an actor and I am nervous about the outcome.  Hopefully Jon Brekke can work magic.  Stay tuned to see the final spot.  Will be done first week of June 2013 and will air on KHON 2, KITV 4 and Oceanic Sports Channel in Hawaii.  See below for actual commercial now playing on local Hawaii television stations.  For more on this spot visit www.ilovemyfujitsu.com
