| SUPER BOWL: THE MILL BUILDS BUDWEISER'S 'BRIDGE' |  |   | | | NEW YORK – The Mill NY (www.themill.com) provided visual effects for Budweiser’s :60 Bridge spot, in which residents of a small town come together to help a truck make a delivery. | | (2/9/2010) | | |  DDB Chicago conceived the spot, which was produced by aWhitelabelProduct and director Paul Middleditch. In the commercial, a small town’s bridge has been destroyed. The residents don’t seem to care – not until the realize the Budweiser truck won’t be able to make its delivery. Together, they form a human bridge, which allows the truck to pass over the gorge.
