The Vaseline brief really struck me as something that represented a challenge – a product for men that helps their skin – and allowed me to express my creativity”

Jeff’s advertisement will play at the MOFILM Gala premiere during the film festival in front of a star-studded audience. MOFILM is a main sponsor of this year’s London Film Festival bringing the world of online and mobile to the film festival.
