Guerrero received his award from actor Matt Damon at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

More than registered for the contest 7,614 submitted original concepts for a 30-second Sam Adams' television commercial. Guerrero's commercial, which he calls "Guy's Night Out," is guaranteed to air on late night network television such as on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and VH1.
