Here is the plot description for “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold”:
Boundary-pushing, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Morgan Spurlock explores the world of product placement, marketing and advertising in “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold”: a film that was fully financed through product placement from various brands that are all integrated transparently into the film.
While using brands in film promotion is not new for Hollywood, it certainly is new territory for the documentary format. Spurlock exploits the phenomenon to new heights with everything from branded pizza boxes and in-flight film promotions. With humor and insight, “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” unmasks the marketing process and brings audiences behind closed doors directly into the pitch meetings and marketing presentations that inform our everyday entertainment choices.
Sponsors were provided with category exclusivity. The brands that agreed to sponsor the film placed Spurlock front and center in their brand campaigns and advertisements both online and offline. Partners have the unique right to promote themselves in association with Spurlock and the film as “The Greatest”. The agreements also stipulate that Spurlock maintains creative control of the film’s content and final edit.
“POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” is directed by Morgan Spurlock, written by Spurlock and Jeremy Chilnick and produced by Spurlock, Chilnick and Abbie Hurewitz through Spurlock’s production company, Warrior Poets, along with Snoot Entertainment’s Keith Calder and producer Jessica Wu.
