“As the pandemic hit, leading Hollywood film directors stood up and endorsed the power of cinema over all other screens,” SAWA’s CEO Cheryl Wannell said in a press release. “It is… great to see that the ad legends of our business have done the same, as it relates to the power of the cinema medium as the ultimate place for brands to appear.”
