'Son of Rambow' Feature Film

Tareq @ Glassworks graded the recently released and critically acclaimed feature film Son of Rambow. A runaway audience smash at the Sundance Film Festival, Son of Rambow is a hilariously fresh and visually inventive take on friendship, family, film heroes and the death-defying adventures of growing up in the video age.

Directed by Garth Jennings (Hammer and Tongs / Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) is a heart-warming nostalgic comedy about two boys with a big video camera and even bigger ambitions.

Orange Cinema 'Snoop Dogg'

In the first of a new campaign to get cinema-goer's pesky phones switched off, the latest A-Lister to fall foul of the Orange Film Commission team is the one and only rapper turned actor Snoop Dogg.

Mr Orange rudely interrupts Snoop in his studio as he tries to record the theme for his new movie. Our film-funding fuehrer is insistent that the song should have some mobile phone related content. A hilarious scene ensues as the two men have a nonsensical 'street-speak off', both backed up by their 'crews', after which Mr Dogg storms off in disgust.

Marriott Hotels 'Dance'

Every dance discipline from breaking to ballet is covered in this dynamic new commercial for Marriott hotels and resorts, directed by Howard Greenhalgh for AMP.

A bright white hotel foyer is brought to swirling, twirling, technicolourtastic life as a couple perform the tango. They morph into a Geisha girl with her parasol, followed by a beautiful sari-clad Indian woman. We go on to witness 'en-point' pirouettes, back spins and passionate flamenco. The viewer is in for even more of a treat, as a 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' style sequence begins, culminating in all the dancers performing in mid air.

NatWest - 'Health Farm'

Steve Reeves directs another titter-some ad in the latest series for Natwest. This time the bumbling boys spend their bank's money dragging their frustrated colleague Will to a health farm to dream up more ways of enticing custom.

According to the moronic head honcho "healthy bankers make wealthy bankers", so they spend their time in the sauna, having massages and sitting around smeared in mud and seaweed. His stripy sock clad sidekick suggests "Speed Banking", a financial alternative to speed dating, to tempt potential clients.
