Dave Cotton Movies

  • Cult short films.

    Often filmed on a mobile phone
    or a handycam. Content is king.
    It's not about budget.
    These low-fidelity (lo-fi) movies are
    authentic and engaging.

    I have a passion for
    making short films, as it allows
    creative freedom. If you
    watch any of these lo-fi movies
    you will see what I mean...

Spur Commercial (spoof)

No. 6. This is a spoof commercial, made by Dave Cotton. The Spur Restaurant had nothing to do with this true example of viral advertising. It is a tongue in cheek poke at all the commercials that are out there costing millions. Filmed on a handycam, this cost nothing. Released October 2009.
