JUDGE COMMENTS
“I love how human this spot is, given that it’s for a data company, which is ostensibly a cold product. I also love that I didn’t know where this was going or what product it was advertising until the very end, which felt like a nice, earned surprise. Keeping the tone of the VO light and jovial was a smart touch, as not to emotion-signal. The writing and editing were great as well.” – Sophia Lou
ADVERTISEMENT FINALISTS
Usedly | Renew purpose, Synesthesia, Tales in Tread, You’re stronger.
BEST MOVIE TRAILER
Matthäa Gerner, WILD
DESCRIPTION
Edited by Matthäa Gerner, WILD follows the small-town adventures of three troublemaking friends and their dangerous brush with a mysterious stranger with a powerful secret weapon.
