BC&F Dentsu’s Paul Catmur, director Dan Max and Eight launch new short comedy ‘Jjeremy’
BC&F Dentsu co-founder and executive creative director Paul Catmur recently got together with director Dan Max and Eight to bring to life ‘Jjeremy’, a short comedy about life in the advertising industry.
The four minute film shows the efforts of a junior creative team to get a campaign approved by their boss, the mercurial and contradictory chief creative chairman Jjeremy, played by TV star Sam Bunkall.
The film is a scene from a longer piece about the advertising industry and the characters within.
Says Catmur: “On behalf of myself and Maxy a massive thank you to Eight and everyone who helped in bringing ‘Jjeremy’ to life. Any resemblance to actual creative directors living or dead is purely coincidental. At least that’s what the lawyers recommended we say.”
Says Max: “It was great to have the chance of working with a slightly longer format. Thank you to cast and crew for an amazing experience. If Sam ever gives up acting he’d fit right in to a creative department.”

Tres drole, Msr. Ccatbags. Takes me back to a few fun creative reviews.
This is awesome
The slightly scary thing is that this is based on a real, and notorious, London CD from the 80s, who used a hand puppet (with a less-than-PC name) to dish out damning critiques of creative work. Or was that just a bit adland folklore I heard when I was working there in the 90s? Let’s ask Mr Buggles and see if he knows.
“…cliche, derivative shit…” Meta as.
“Jjeremy”. Is that by any chance poking fun at Siimon Reynolds?
Also, in the credits, you have misspelt “Dentsu” as “Denstu” unless Denstu is somebody else of course.
Other than that, I like it.
Derivative.
Jokes, well done Catmur and friends.
