As television commercials crowded the programming environment, ad agencies sought new creative ways to stop viewers in their tracks and engage them during commercial breaks. Enter Joe Sedelmaier. A successful Young & Rubicam and J. Walter Thompson art director/producer who opened a film production studio in 1967 on Fairbanks Court in the old [[Chez Paree]] nightclub space, Sedelmaier developed clutter-cracking commercials that featured the most unlikely, off-beat, one-of-a-kind non-actors, such as [[Clara Peller]], breaking new ground, and creating public and industry cutting-edge "buzz." In addition, his Chicago production studio attracted talented professional character actors.
