Art & Copy is a terrific documentary about the Advertising industry, chock-full of insights from the best in the business: Lee Clow (TBWA\Chiat Day), Jeff Goodby & Rich Silverstein (Goodby, Silverstein & Partners), Hal Riney (Publicis), Dan Wieden & David Kennedy (Wieden+Kennedy), and a host of other notable names.
