Everybody coming out for the Women’s Marches tomorrow? Doesn’t matter where you live, I promise there is one near you. There are going to be 600 marches globally tomorrow so whether you live in New York, Kansas, South Africa, or Brisbane there is a Women’s March for you (click this link to find your location).

And if you’re sitting there wondering why on earth you should march, Nanette Burstein has the answer for you with her new Women’s March PSA. It’s getting a lot of coverage so far considering it’s barely been out for 24 hours. AdAge, Shoot, and The Drum are all talking about it and you should be to. McGarryBowen Creative Director Teresa Herd (one of the minds behind the PSA) put it best when asked if this was a political event: “This is not a political movement. It’s a human and civil rights movement.”

We wholeheartedly agree.

Nanette has a new PSA out explaining why you should join one of the hundreds of Women’s Marches across America this Saturday. What began as a March on Washington has become rallying cry for proponents of Equal Rights around the world. Literally around the world. So far there are over 600 sister marches planned globally with well over a million participants. People of all genders, all races, all nationalities and religions — citizens of the globe with a single unifying belief in equality for all. It’s not political. It’s just common sense.

If that sounds logical to you, come on out. You can find the march nearest you right HERE. And if you’re still not convinced, watch Nanette’s spot above. That’s sure to get ya.

Fun Fact: Nanette’s crew for the PSA was comprised entirely of women.

Fresh off her epic showing at the Toronto International Film Festival (or TIFF, as the festival is known to her friends), Nanette Burstein and the good people at Showtime are dropping her new Feature Documentary tomorrow night at 9pm. Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee, tells the story of tech millionaire John McAfee – famed inventor of anti-virus software – and how he went off the grid to live in Belize, building a compound and harem, becoming a drug lord and developing an armed security force to guard himself against the police… That is, until he became a suspect in his neighbor’s murder and had to make his escape back to the U.S.

Slate, Hollywood Reporter, Wired, and The Verge already love Gringo and we’re certain you will too.

Check your local listings to ensure you don’t miss a moment of the action. But if you Google the movie be sure to Google the entire title, not just Gringo. If you Google “Gringo” the top result will be Mel Gibson’s movie Get the Gringo and that’s a whole different flick. One movie stars an insane racist millionaire who moves

to his own private island where he arms himself and terrorizes anyone who comes within a hundred feet of him and the other movie stars John McAfee.

Anybody going to TIFF this year? Nanette is and she’s bringing a new feature film with her.

Fresh off of winning a Silver Lion at Cannes and being included on AdWeek’s Creative 100 list, Nanette has a new documentary premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend. Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee delves into the strange story of John McAfee, who went from millionaire software mogul, to yogi, to Kurtz-like jungle recluse, to potential murderer, and most recently a prospective presidential candidate for the American Libertarian Party. Yes, this is the same McAfee whose software you’ve spent your entire computing life using to rid your hard drive of malware.

The picture is utterly fascinating and if any of you find yourselves in the Toronto area this weekend we highly recommend you catch a screening. All info can be found here.

The 2016 Summer Olympics are coming up and Nanette Burstien has a very important message to all the young girls out there: Keep playing.

There are massive quantities of statistics that show beyond doubt that young females are socially discouraged from continuing to play sports as they grow older, specifically the Junior High School years, arguably a young woman’s most impressionable time. Well Nanette and Always say to hell with that. Keep playing. You think those Olympic athletes let people shame them out of their desired sporting event? Shit no. And you shouldn’t either.

This point is made so saliently in this new ad that Creativity Online and AdWeek are highlighting the spot this week. There’s also an excellent director’s interview that can be found here.

So adults, if you have a young girl in your life, make sure she watches Nanette’s new Always commercial. And if there are any young girls reading this right now (which would be really weird since tweens aren’t really Hungry Man’s demo but…) listen to Nanette when she tells you: keep playing.

Ace Metrix is an analytics company that scores every national TV ad in the US using a panel of at least 500 consumers, demographically balanced according to the US census.

I tell you that to tell you this…

Ace Metrix just released a list of the 10 ads of the first quarter of 2016 that were able to “get noticed” and right at the top of this list, number one with a bullet, Nanette Burstein’s Microsoft commercial “Woman Made.” It’s a brilliant commercial made by our resident docu-expert and it just goes to show that when you make an important spot with a poignant message people pay attention, and to say that important spots with a poignant messages is Nanette’s wheelhouse feels like an astounding understatement. Check out Business Insider and AdAge’s reports on this release.

Well done, Nanette. Another top spot!

Yes, anytime Nanette steps on the scene you know you’re gonna get punched right in the limbic system. Today’s spot released just in time for International Women’s Day highlights the way we gender-wash our world’s scientific heritage and the way that affects our nation’s young girls. Like all of Nanette’s work we promise you will walk away reconsidering the way your mind’s eye views all of history, because some say it’s written by the winners, we here at Hungry Man say it’s written by dicks… er… men.

I know, I know. This is big talk. Luckily for us Creativity Online, Little Black Book, and AdWeek all agree with our assessment. So this Women’s Day find a young girl in your life and tell her about Yvonne Brill, or Ada Lovelace, or Tabitha Babbit… Unless you don’t actually know any young girls, in which case it’s probably better for everyone if you just go home and look these ladies up on wikipedia and quietly keep the information to yourself.

This next one’s for the ladies.

Have you ever stepped on a scale and wished that the number that appeared reflected the important things in life? Nanette Burstein and the good folks at Lean Cuisine have. In her latest docu-style spot Nanette really goes after all of the feels as she asks real women to weigh what’s really valuable to them in life. This approach has really affected a lot of people including the folks at Shoot Online and Creativity Online who both have featured the spot this week and applauded Lean Cuisine’s shift in tone from weighing your fat to weighing your value as a person.

Bravo Lean Cuisine and bravo Nanette.

If not, fret not, there will be encore showings throughout the next week (the next one airing Sunday at 7:30 ET, 4:30 PT on ESPN). In the meantime Vulture.com did a lovely piece on the doc which you can peep here. Also this morning Nanette graces the cover of New York Magazine (see above). Pick up a copy today and find out who the hottest Doc Director in town is. Spoiler Alert: It’s her.

Nanette’s Google ad “Jess Time” is such a beautiful peice of work we can’t stop talking about it even a year later. As part of the Art Directors Club’s new “Behind the Cube” initiative, Agency Spy sat down with Jesse Juriga and Jessica Brillhart, part of the team behind the spot, to discuss how it was constructed and how they managed to fit such real, earnest emotions into 60 seconds of TV time. If you’re like me and you love this spot, you’re definitely going to want to check this out.

Seems like 11 year old Denise Bestman really does “have it all”! Nanette Burstein’s spot for Target gets some love from “Good Morning America” after airing on the Grammys!!!
