We were honoured to see CALM “The Last Photo” awarded the Grand Prix in Film at last week’s Cannes Lions closing awards ceremony – congrats to director Max Fisher, the team at adam&eveDDB and cain&abelDDB & everyone involved on this important project.
Editor James Rosen had this to say about the prestigious win:
“I’m extremely proud and grateful to have worked on this important film. It was an exercise in pure restraint, knowing the craft had to play second fiddle to such a powerfully simple concept. I’m confident we succeeded, sometimes less really is more. Congratulations to everyone involved.”
