Philips teamed up with Ridley Scott Associates and challenged their directors to create a cutting-edge short film based on six lines of dialogue. The five chosen directors (Greg Fay, Johnny Hardstaff, Carl Erik Rinsch, Jake Scott and Hi-Sim) turned them into five very different films showcasing the great Ambilight, picture and sound capabilities of the Philips 21:9 television. Viewers of the campaign were also invited to shoot their own version of the dialogue, with the overall winner being selected by Ridley Scott.

Interactive product expressions

Interactive sub-films allowed further exploration of the Philips Cinema 21:9 television product features. 

Social activation platform

We created a global YouTube competition 'Tell It Your Way', where all user submissions could also be viewed in an Ambilight player, and a Facebook page where over 50,000 fans followed the story as it unfolded. The YouTube short film competition received over 600 produced entries from aspiring filmmakers accepted by our judges for the competition. The winning entry earned a week with RSA Films learning the craft from some of the best in the industry. The eventual grand prize winner was Porcelain Unicorn by US director Keegan Wilson.
