08.28.07: On the set of Own Your C "Genie" TV shoot
Own Your C GenieThis year Cactus is unleashing three new TV spots to continue our eclectic “Own Your C ” youth anti-smoking campaign for STEPP.

For the first spot, we enlisted the help of one of our favorite directors, and an all around wonderful person, Lena Beug. We flew Lena and a few other key personnel in from New York and shot the spot here in Denver. It’s a nice treat to get to sleep in your own bed on the nights before and after a shoot.
