This commercial was coproduced by Nick Erickson and BackYard Studios in Manteca, CA, to be submitted for a contest hosted by CBS at Good Day Sacramento. The contest is sponsored by A.C.E. Rail, a commuter train based out of the San Joaquin County. A very special thanks goes out to Thomas Reeves at A.C.E. and the cast, crew, and friends that made this video all possible. It could not have been done without you!

UPDATE: This commercial was announced as the winner of the contest by CBS and ACE Rail!

This video is dedicated to my dad, an ACE commuter of over ten years. Without his forwarded email I would have never known about the project.
