It's been quite incredible to see TJ O'Grady-Peyton's short film receive such praise on the festival circuit so far this year and we are just as excited that 'Room Taken' is on Variety's predicted nomination list for Best Live Action Short Film at the next Oscars. Very proud!

A scent obsession! Super excited to share ‘Smells That Good’ for Surf directed by Jamie Maule-ffinch.

As part of Surf/Unilever’s new contemporary campaign for the brand, this launched last week and has splashed across TV, social, OOH, and print. From the creative minds of Sophie McGovern and Alex Prendergrast at MullenLowe UK. Brilliant to have partnered with Surf, and Unilever and the incredible teams at MullenLowe UK, Marshall Street Editors, Absolute, Jungle Studios, Curious Productions and Karma Film Production Company.

"Surf came to us with a brief to reinject energy into a brand that, despite its enormous scale, needed some new excitement. We had to make something that had fun at its core, attracting new audiences, while reinforcing its unmatchable fragrances." - Eduardo Salles, Global Creative Director.

Wonderful to see Marcus Lundin's second film for the RFSU receive a whopping five stars from the folks at DavidReviews.

Another masterclass by himself and the teams involved in making the RFSU’s advocacy for s*xual rights to people across the Nordic states and internationally such a creative feat to watch in his films.

"It's an absolute romp from start to finish, complemented by sight gags like a horse that rears, pedestrian lights that, er, go when it's green, and a very excited dashboard Jesus. The latter becomes even funnier when you learn the whole ad is about safe s*x." - Andrew MacGregor.

Thanks so much for the great review and congrats to Marcus Lundin with another 'rousing film!
