When I first started as a Content Producer for the global agency, WongDoody, in 2019, a goal of mine has been to produce the Seattle International Film Festival marketing campaign. I love cinema and wanted to be a part of our 19-year journey of promoting SIFF. My goal was reached when I produced the SIFF 2023 campaign! This entailed overseeing and ushering through the entire marketing campaign from concept to final delivery. The deliverables included the poster, a toolkit of branded assets, four 30 second animated bumpers, and the 60 second festival trailer. A great deal of this work was created in house with the exception being the key poster art, created by illustrator, Ryan Sprague, and the trailer which we teamed up with production company, Dos Rios Films, to create with sound editing by HEARby Sound. I was able to utilize my years of film production knowledge on set and be more than just the Agency Rep, taking on any role needed including creating the projection mapped VFX files for our live, in camera projections. It was an amazing experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better client or creative team internal and external. Below is a link to the trailer and some pics of the campaign.
