No Frills Drops the First Danceable Pandemic PSA

Our first nominee for the “Best COVID-related Creative” award goes to Canadian discount grocery chain No Frills for this PSA/music video by the all-Toronto team of VFX shop The Vanity, audio collective SNDWRx, and agency John St.

Not only is the work fast and infectious (sorry), the company is donating $1 to the President’s Choice Children’s Charity™ (to a maximum of $50,000) for every view or stream.
