The film, created by RPA and produced by Tool, is a promotion for the Newport Beach Film Festival and succinctly drives home the point film can, indeed, make you feel like you are right in the middle of the action.

The Future Lions global student creative competition is calling for 2013 entries. AKQA, in collaboration with Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, is hosting Future Lions for the eighth year in a row. This year's theme, 'Destiny Awaits', encourages students to invent bold ideas that will create the future.
The annual Future Lions competition challenges students to develop an idea for advertising a brand in a way that would not have been possible five years ago. There are no rules in terms of media or technology, no restrictions around product or target audience and no entry fee. Winning concepts will be honoured at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in the Debussy Theatre in June.
Celebrating the competition's emphasis on creativity and innovation, AKQA is proud to announce WIRED UK as official partner for Future Lions 2013.
Last year the competition achieved a record number of over 1,100 entries from 40 countries, making it one of the world's largest student competitions. An influential platform for emerging talent, Future Lions winners are highly sought after and quickly employed by many of the world's leading agencies.
It's that time of year again. Time for the Oscars of the Internet. The time when the red carpet is rolled out to honor the best web work of the year. With 18 nominations, DDB leads all agencies in nominations and joins R/GA (17), BBDO (11), Wieden + Kennedy (9), Ogilvy (8), McCann (8) and Y&R (8) in primary contention for Webby Agency of the Year.
