To remind audiences to put their phones on silent, Telstra has created a campaign of cinema, for cinema, with a series of intriguing, silent short films. The films – Mirror Mirror, Four Legged Friend and Magnetic Boy – are directed by FINCH’s Dougal Wilson in his first Australian production and commercial project since 2018.
Brent Smart, CMO of Telstra says: “So much care and craft has gone into these, I can’t wait to see them before some animated film my kids make me watch.”
Micah Walker, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Bear Meets Eagle On Fire, says: “This is such a simple, fun idea and getting to work with Dougal again has just made that even better. We couldn’t be happier with how they’ve come to life.”
Director Dougal Wilson says: “It was a delight to work with Micah and his team and Telstra on such a fun project. I loved these ideas and crafting them with my wonderful production team and crew was a hugely enjoyable experience.”
