Sugar Film Production Basks in Ram Glory

DALLAS, TV, May 19, 2001 — With “Ram Glory,” created via The Richards Group, Sugar Film Production reminds America just who Dodge makes their trucks for – not for the critics in Road & Track, not for the German auto drivers that turn their noses up, and certainly not for the doomsayers that bemoan the end of an era for American car-makers. No, the spot, directed by Chris Smith reminds us – with gorgeous vignettes of the polished autos working hard on the farm and the construction site – that Dodge builds trucks to be as tough as their drivers. And these are drivers who demand a machine that can get just as dirty, sweaty, and bloody as they do every day. “Ram Glory” is notable not only for its stylish portrayal of the new truck, but because it marks the third collaboration between Sugar Film Production and The Richards Group on a Dodge Commercial.
