Bring Me Back - San Diego Zoo
Role: Writer/Director/Editor
Airing nationally in the US on over 140 networks, this commercial aims to draw attention to San Diego Zoo's conservation efforts.
In this minimalist storytelling piece, the importance of San Diego Zoo's efforts to bring back endangered species to their natural habitat is highlighted using the symbolism of an infant, who represents the future generations, and his toy animals. Here is a quote from SDZG's Facebook page about their US-wide TV campaign: "Selim Mete's "Bring Me Back" takes home the gold in our PSA contest! Thanks to all the filmmakers for their hard work and to you for your votes. We think Selim's tear-jerker conveys the urgency of our mission in a simple, yet profound way. Watch out for his video on over 140 networks around the country..."
