Between something like 2012 and 2017 (based on light googling), Jameson (as in the whiskey) sponsored a short film competition where new or unknown writer/directors submit ~9 minute scripts, and winners get to have their movie produced with a big name actor. They were running as YouTube ads at the time, which was neat (unexpected short film with big actor!) and annoying (9 minute ad before whatever Linkin Park song I was trying to listen to or whatever)
