Janesville company to score big with Super Bowl

By MARCIA NELESEN ( Contact ) Friday, February 1, 2013 - 7:51 a.m.

JANESVILLE--A Janesville company already has scored big for this year’s Super Bowl.

Stephen Pickering and his wife, Cameron Pickering, won $5,000 and the chance to see their film in a pregame commercial after their company, Drywater Productions, won first place in a contest sponsored by Pizza Hut.

Who cares about the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers?

The clip chosen will join 17 others to be showcased in the same commercial Sunday. The company received 480 entries, Stephen said.

“We were blown away that out of that many they actually recognized ours as the No. 1 video,” Stephen said.

Stephen is not sure how the company will use the clip or when it will air.

He knows it will emphasize the word “hut” as in “Pizza Hut,” not “hut” as in football.
