Ben Callner made it to the Super Bowl.
Callner, who works with PoGo Pictures in Decatur, directed “Goat 4 Sale,” one of two Doritos commercials aired Sunday night during the Super Bowl.

But it finished behind the other Doritos ad, "Fashionista Daddy," meaning Callner didn't win a cash prize or the chance to work with director Michael Bay on the next "Transformers" movie.
Still, Wilson said, it was an honor for "Goat 4 Sale" to be shown Sunday night. Five Doritos ads competed for the chance in an online Facebook poll.

Callner was still in New Orleans on Monday and could not be reached for comment, Wilsons said.
The top three Super Bowl ads were the Budweiser commercial in which a man reunites with a Clydesdale, a Tide ad featuring retired football player Joe Montana and a Dodge Ram truck ad called "Farmer" that was narrated by the late Paul Harvey.
