    Scarecrows Turn Scared In Director Joseph Paul’s “Big Crow”

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments1763 Views

    Directed by Joseph Paul, “Big Crow” paints a world where scarecrows are terrified of crows. This is the first short film produced by DROOL Productions, which was founded by director Freddie Powell and EP Genevieve Sheppard.

    DROOL initiated “Big Crow” as a passion project, reinvesting in the creative process.

    “Nobody questions scarecrows. They have been ruling the roost for over 100 years. What happens when the crows get revenge?” asked Paul. “We wanted to make a project that pushes the work we love: playful with a high level of craft.”

    Powell added “We make a lot of ads. So it’s just nice to put something out there that people have no idea why it exists but they’re happy it does. Sometimes all you need is a bunch of trusted partners, some Kodak film you’d wanted to test out, and a massive field.”

    Top Spot of the Week: AlmapBBDO, Director Lu Villaca Team On A Show Of Strength For Women and Johnnie Walker

    Thursday, December 19, 2024

    Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.” Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys. “The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
