Two Aussie ad blokes give promoting the LIA Awards their all. Their all is pitiful. Their pitches are hilarious.
The two films to promote this year’s LIA Awards were written by Australian comedy writer & director, Alex Weinress, and produced by Filmgraphics. Enhancing the humour are the comedy duo from Boomshaka, Guy Edmonds and Matthew Zeremes, who play the ad agency executives.
Weinress is known for his Tropfest and Flickerfest winning short films, Carmichael & Shane and A First Date, as well as his directing role in the comedy series, Chandon Pictures. He has also written and directed comedic content for Qantas, Hyundai, Westpac, AYAM and The Sydney Opera House.
Barbara Levy, founder of LIA, commented, “It is a wonderful film and really refreshing to have a group of people in this industry these days that are willing to help others. I would like to personally thank Filmgraphics and all the people who worked on this film for their generosity of spirit and giving up their valuable time.”
LIA is currently accepting entries until August 31. The judging of the awards will be held from September 29 to October 7 in Las Vegas.
