Are You Obsessed with Craft?
In a short film just released by AICP to promote entries to the AICP Awards – The AICP Show, The AICP Post Awards and The AICP Next Awards – the world’s most obsessive crafter talks about her love of craft and her belief that, at its heart, “craft is a symphony of detail.” She utters this profundity while wearing a crocheted vest, nestled in her cramped workshop and surrounded by items resplendent in their beads, bangles and other handcrafted gewgaws. The AICP Awards are now accepting entries across all three of its shows. The deadline to enter is February 14, 2020. To view the film, go to Obsessedwithcraft.com.
Conceived by a creative team at R/GA, the film aims to underscore the importance of craft and how the AICP Awards has, for nearly thirty years, celebrated craft in advertising. Our obsessive craftsperson, who at one points offers the aside that “there seems to be a lot from Brazil these days” after noting that “good craft knows no borders,” represents the preoccupation AICP Awards juries have always had with identifying excellence in craft. It’s also a nod to the fact that for the first time ever, the AICP Show – like the AICP Post Awards and AICP Next Awards – is now open to international entries in all craft and concept categories.
Enter the AICP Awards today and find out! Entry Deadline: February 14, 2020 www.aicp.com

Boma | Camp Sugar Brand Identity
Rebel Wilson's Directorial debut “The Deb” premiered as the closing night film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding a touch of creative flair to the film’s debut, the team at Boma helped in crafting the brand identity for Wilson’s production company, Camp Sugar.
“Rebel and her team approached us with this adorable character design and a simple question: ‘Can we make this happen in time for Toronto?’” shares Jason Cohon. “As huge fans of animation, and with such a fantastic concept from Josh and Meredith on Rebel’s team, it was an easy ‘yes!’”
The :05 identity opens in a serene forest scene featuring a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Camp Sugar.” As the camera reveals two hands gently holding the sign, a little girl playfully peeks from behind, inviting the audience into the world of Camp Sugar. Boma was tasked with designing and animating the 3D environment and character, delivering a fully rendered introduction that will serve as a long-lasting signature for Rebel Wilson’s films for years to come.
“We had so much fun making this and hope to be able to do many more unique versions for all of Camp Sugar’s films.”
Based in Los Angeles, Boma was created to fill a need for quicker turnarounds and tighter budgets while maintaining quality at the highest creative level. With a fully remote pipeline, global partnership across three continents and a team of senior creative talent, Boma is equipped to scale projects rapidly, regardless of budget or timeline constraints.
