Martin Scorsese has directed an extended (10 min.) commercial in the style
of Alfred Hitchcock, for Freixenet Wines. It's one of the best Hitchcock
homages I've seen, and it includes a behind-the-scenes with Scorsese himself
that's pretty darn funny.

Show it to your film students for their final exam and have them identify
which bits are taken from which Hitchcock films!

* Cyn*opsis: DIGITAL

Good morning, it's *Tuesday, December 4, 2007* and this is your first early
morning digital briefing.

*Martin Scorsese* has created a masterpiece in a format that definitely has
legs in this age of digital video and DVRs. His cinematic advertorial for
Freixenet's Carta Nevada Reserva champagne is really a love letter to Alfred
Hitchcock, presented under the guise of a mysterious never-produced scene
from the Master of Suspense. The lighting, costumes, music and pacing are
spot on.
