VIFF - An Open Mind Is Advised

Creative Director Paul Little and his creative teams have done an incredible job of re-establishing TBWA/Vancouver as a top ad agency, locally and globally. Their latest weird and wonderful campaign for the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) has caught the eye of Campaign Magazine, and is sure to garner even more international recognition during the next award season. Speaking directly to the VIFF audience with a wink and a grin, director Tim Godsall and the creative team have created three strange scenes spoofing the typical fare of international film festivals. The funniest thing about the spots is how close they are to the real thing. Click here to check them out.

Some nice work from Zig's Chicago office. Definitely made me chuckle.

Side note for my flatmates: THIS is who should be listening to 'smooth rock.' Not you. Please stop playing it in our house. I beg you, for the love of Manilow, stop.
