Samuel Lewis Examines the “Garbologist” for Specsavers & FlickerFest

Melbourne stop-motion specialist Samuel Lewis created this gently comic spot for the Should’ve Gone To Specsavers Short Film Competition, an annual collab between the optical retail giant and the Flickerfest Short Film Festival.

Bronwyn Kidd, FlickerFest director: “At Flickerfest we are committed to finding pathways to support Australian filmmakers beyond our festival and it’s fantastic to partner with Specsavers who support us in our vision to discover, reward and further career opportunities for Australian talent in such a meaningful way.

Anri McHugh, head of marketing awareness & consideration at Specsavers: “By showcasing new creative voices through Flickerfest and inviting the public to be part of the decision, we’re not only celebrating emerging talent but also reinforcing the simple human insight that when people don’t see clearly, everyday moments can go humorously wrong.”

One of five finalists chosen from 160+ entries, “Garbologist” is now in the running to win up to $70,000 once the public voting is complete.
