A series of anti-sexual harassment films made last year by Sigal Avin and David Schwimmer are finding new life as a set of powerful 30-second TV ads.

Three spots, ominously titled “The Boss,” “The Politician” and “The Coworker,” illustrate the kinds of real and exploitative scenarios to which women are frequently subjected in job settings. They feature celebrities including Schwimmer, Zazie Beetz, Emmy Rossum, Harry Lennix, Grace Gummer and Joseph Sikora, and are cut down from six four-minute shorts, written and directed by Avin and produced by Schwimmer, that launched last April.
