PHILIPPINES, SEPTEMBER 2010 – The acclaimed documentary film Art & Copy, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, will have its official Philippine premiere on September 21 at Greenbelt 1 Cinema 2. Two screening times have been set, 7:30PM and 9:30PM, to give a bigger audience access to this year’s must-see documentary.
Art & Copy is directed by Doug Pray, who is known for his documentary films about American subcultures and maverick characters–“SURFWISE,” “SCRATCH” and “HYPE!” Among the admen appearing in the film are Lee Clow, chairman and chief creative officer of TBWAChiatDay, who was behind the Apple “1984” commercial and also helped create campaigns featuring the Energizer Bunny and the Apple iPod; Mary Wells, a pioneer in many respects and creator of the iconic “I Love New York” campaign; and George Lois, mastermind of the Esquire magazine covers in the 1960s and the original Mad Man who made a generation say "I Want My MTV".
Two pairs of respected names also discuss creativity: Dan Wieden and David Kennedy, founders of Wieden+Kennedy, who gave Nike its “Just do it” slogan; and Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein, who lend their name to the shop Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, and are best known for their making milk sexy with the "Got Milk?" campaign.
Proceeds of the screenings will go to the The Amazing Grace Fund to help defray the hospital bills incurred by the late Grace Marci during her battle against leukemia and uterine cancer. Grace was strategic planner at BrandLab and former Creative Director of Lowe Jakarta and Lowe Manila.
As Grace loved art with a passion, her friends and colleagues have launched the Amazing Grace online auction website with paintings and photographs by noted artists, as well as rare items, at attractive prices.
