Latest work from George Productions:
- Pantene 'Relaxed & Natural' campaign: During summer
2008, the company oversaw casting in New Orleans, Atlanta and

and emotion these women had invested in our question, 'What does
your hair mean and say about you?'," said producer Kim Handley.

blubbering tears. There was a lot of laughter too, but it was
emotional, exhausting, exhilarating and worth it all." The campaign
was shot by Keith Major.
