From a single piece of dialogue (”It’s a unicorn”) and no direction or setting, timescale or language, Ridley Scott Associates composed the basis for 5 upcoming short films for Phillips Cinema with RSA directors Greg Fay, Johnny Hardstaff, Carl Erik Rinsch, Jake Scott and Hi-Sim each creating their own unique narrative.
Neil Dawson, Philips Chief Creative Officer of commissioning agency DDB Worldwide, “After the success of ‘Carousel’ we, once again, had to produce surprising content that was able to showcase Philips understanding of cinema. By creating 5 different films with identical dialogue we are single-mindedly communicating that whatever the content, a Philips television is the only way to watch it.”
We know how much love and sweat you put into pitching and how most of those phenomenal visuals die an ugly death at the hands of unappreciative clients.
Good news. Revenge is at hand.
