Directing duo Terry Timely, consisting of Ian Kibbey and Corey Creasey, turned out this documentary short titled Dollhouse which debuted at the recently wrapped SXSW Film Festival where it garnered a Special Jury Recognition honor in the Documentary Shorts category.
The seven-minute short follows Kate Charles, an artist who crafts strikingly realistic dolls of newborn babies for sale. We watch as Charles’ expert fingers paint the perfect shadows on tiny feet, remove spare limbs from an oven and even pin-prick strands of hair onto rubbery heads. The finished creations are then carefully packaged and shipped to their new “mothers”/owners.
Terry Timely is handled by Park Pictures for U.S. representation in spots and branded content.

The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
The Los Angeles–based Docter Twins (Matthew and Jason Docter) directed the original campaign and this new humorous work through their production company, Thinking Machine. The identical twin... Read More
