Chris Cairns and Rianne White direct spots for Partizan

To promote the brand’s new weekly slots, Betfair called upon director Chris Cairns to bring the dogs and their new tricks. 

Featuring an array of mutts of all shapes and sizes, the dogs bark along to the classic ‘I Can’t Wait’ by Nu Shooz, in tune with each other. Which is definitely a one-up from fetch… 

Producer Jason Oakley said about the shoot: “When shooting with animals there are various things to consider, such as having a back up in case the pooch doesn’t perform, a vet on standby to ascertain whether they are being treated well, and in this case a director who knew how to get a Busta Rhymes-esque performance from a Chihuahua.” 

Rianne White, a native Scot, recently travelled to Scotland for a very important cause. She directed this piece of work for UTPS (United to Prevent Suicide) to emphasise the importance of talking.

The film features people from all over Scotland talking about their experiences with mental health and suicide. Some speak about their own struggles, while others describe the pain of seeing their friends suffer. The simple yet effective piece of film encourages Scots from all walks of life to talk about suicide.
