Corrections & clarifications

The Big Film Company’s Ron Chapman directed a :30 for Nikon, not Nokia as reported in the Jan. 8 Shots & Chasers.

Linda Hassani is still on the Rave Films roster and was used only by Critical Madness for the Manitoba Lottery Corporation spots mentioned in the last s&c. Hassani is not officially on the Critical Madness roster of directors. •
