Who's winning the 2015 Christmas ad game?
Last year, I reported on how I felt 2014 marked the establishment of the New Wave of Christmas adverts with more adverts than ever with short form narratives and touching productions rather than flashing price tags and undulating images of products.

Creativity Takes Confidence
Art is all about opinion. There is no right or wrong answer. But because of this, we as artists invest so much of ourselves into our work and to show that to the world can make you feel exposed and vulnerable. It's often hard to trust your opinion, that what you're creating is of a high quality, and it takes guts to share that work with others.

I also tried hard not to open with a clique...obviously not hard enough. No one's got time for books anymore anyway, that's why you want to make a film, right? I'll try and keep it snappy. -
