Bigelow, who won the Academy Award for Best Directing in 2010 for The Hurt Locker, will shoot ads with Academy in the UK after signing with its US partner, Reset. The director, who also made Point Break, has recently shot ads through RSA Films including a 2014 spot for Schweppes, featuring Penélope Cruz, and a film about elephant poaching, ‘last days’, through Annapurna Pictures.
