Projects
- Small WorldWinner, BookVideo Awards, 2008 Rushes Soho Film Festival, 2008 To promote books online Bookseller Magazine in association with Random House launched a competition to make virals for 3 books. I chose a suitable book, analysed its qualities, distilled them into script and wrote a treatment that was selected in a competitive pitch. I engaged the key film crew, cast actors, negotiated deals with suppliers such as Kodak and Fuji, directed and oversaw the post-production. The finished film was successful in online media in USA and the UK, was selected for the Rushes Soho Film Festival and won an award at the BookVideo Awards.
- Toyota 'Child’s Play'Toyota Sweden wanted to create a film that increased the number of likes on Facebook. The assignment was to create a positive film of children painting on a hybrid car that would be auctioned to benefit a children’s charity. Together with the Creative Director I wrote the film pitch and presented it to advertising agency and client, chose theme for the illustrations and chose the props, production design and look for the film, recruited the key film crew and cast the children. I directed and oversaw the editing of the main and the behind the scene film. The films doubled the amount of likes for Toyota on Facebook.
