Film just came together continued from p.8 "It turned out better than I could have imagined," he said. "It was just one of those things you work on and it all comes together, even the things outside of your control. The actors were amazing, the crew did their jobs really well." Zabielski, originally from Chicago, came to Appleby in Grade 11 when his dad started working at Manulife in Toronto. He had already started expressing an interest in pursuing film and television and had the opportunity to start getting some practical experience at Appleby. "There was one teacher in particular, David Boyd, who has since retired. He managed to get all the equipment and the school was able to start up a TV station," Zabielski said. "The school was very supportive of me. Appleby had a lot to do with me getting into USC." Now, Zabielski could be on the verge of the big break he's been looking for since graduating in 1997. Online voters will determine which commercial is aired during the Super Bowl while Doritos will select a second commercial to be shown. Zabielski's commercial can be seen, and voted for at www.votemiddleseat.com. One vote per day per device is allowed until Jan. 28. The creator of the commercial receiving the most fan votes will also have the opportunity to work for Universal Pictures for a year. "That would be huge," he said. "I've been trying to get the opportunity to work on commercials and I'd like to direct a movie one day. Working at Universal, you would get the chance to meet so many people in the film industry." Zabielski said having the commercial air during the Super Bowl would also be a great reward for everyone who worked on the project. And a million bucks? That wouldn't be too bad either. "My wife and I are still paying student debts. To finally get out from under that would be nice," said Zabielski, who earned $25,000 and a trip to the Super Bowl for being a finalist. "And we're living in a two-bedroom condo so that would let us move and expand our family." Which would give him more actors for his next commercial. 9 | Friday, January 16, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com DIAMOND 100% NATURAL INGREDIENTS M a D e to FRESH & MaDe DELICIOUS NaChoS FreSh orDer BURRITOS 289-837-0111 thehabanero.ca Located Across the Street from Sheridan College on Trafalgar Rd. 1289 Marlborough Court, oakville The Body Shaping Fitness Studio For Women A year from now you will wish you had started TODAY...
