Commercial Filmed at Toomers Coffee

PRESS RELEASE

Toomers Coffee was the location chosen by Dallas, Tx based film company, Directorz (http://www.directorz.net/directors.html) as their Auburn shooting location for a commercial for Blue Cross Shield of Alabama. The crew of about 30 members, four trucks, lots of lights and cameras showed up Friday morning (April 18th) at 6 AM and were finished by 10 AM. Toomers Coffee was one crazy place that morning. When asked why they chose Toomer’s Coffee Company, they said that during their initial meetings with Jarod (which were at Toomer’s Coffee) “We just fell in love with the layout, colors the look and feel. We knew this was where we had to shoot this commercial”.

The commercial is part of a two year ad campaign that will spotlight Alabama residents who have benefitted from the care of Blue Cross Blue Shield. Local Lakeview Baptist Seminary student, Jarod Dobbins, was selected after developing malaria as a result of a summer missions trip that landed him in the hospital for several weeks. His Blue Cross coverage was very helpful in covering his treatment costs.


They tell us the commercial may begin airing this summer. So keep a sharp eye. To see more photos of the shoot go to our website: www.toomerscoffee.com.

    That link to the company’s website seems broken. Here it is again:
