“There IS no other vacuum cleaner like the ‘Vacutide 4000′!”

A Brent Creative / Funkbuddha Co-Production

YEAR: 2007 / DIRECTOR: Jay Purcell / WRITER: Jay Purcell, Mark Brent / STARRING: Rodrigo DeMedeiros, Erin Douglass, Ben Andrews / LOCATIONS: Seattle, Washington, USA / RELEASE: 2007, Internet Only

This is a humorous, fifties style online viral commercial produced by Seattle based ‘Brent Creative‘.

Funkbuddha’s Jay Purcell was approached by Brent Creative with a short synopsis and asked to write and direct a video that would demonstrate the company’s services…..’Vacutide 4000‘ was born!

The commercial took inspiration from TV shows such as ‘I Love Lucy‘ and ‘I Dream of Jeannie‘ as well as the old American style 50’s infomercials.

‘Vacutide 4000‘ shows how an old fashioned door-to-door salesman uses unheard of techniques to get potential clients interested in his product!
