HOW do you engage the consumer of the 21st Century?

:30 second commercial.

It is about context, content, and entertainment.

Working with FILMAKA you can engage your consumers to

participate in their own persuasion

And we do it better, faster, broader and more cost effectively.

©2010 Filmaka, Inc. CONFIDENTIAL DO NOT FORWARD

Ford/JWT came to Filmaka because they needed original content for the 2010 Mustang’s website and creative for the nine 1:00 commercials purchased in NBC’s Knight Rider. Films needed to be written, shot, and edited in just over five weeks. Filmaka received 400 pitches from filmmakers in 30 countries. 22 films were produced - shot in U.S., Canada, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, and UK.

Grand Prize Winner, UK-based Jonathan Newman attended the LA Auto Show where his film “Father’s Day” introduced the 2010 Mustang. JWT then hired him to shoot a one hour cable documentary, shot in Japan. Filmaka subsequently hired Newman to direct its first feature film, Swinging with the Finkels, starring Martin Freeman and Mandy Moore.

“It’s the quickest, most efficient, creative thing the Ford Motor Company has ever done.” - Al Uzielli, Sr. Advisor, Ford Global Brand Entertainment

“What better way to gauge WhatOneEarthIsGoingOn? (on MSN) than to ask ‘filmakas’ around the world the question in a series of short films. As a creative director born in the land of the boomerang, it is not surprising that I have always enjoyed throwing ideas out there and seeing what comes back. Filmaka is a wonderful open source way of accessing new ideas and talent from new places.” - David Alberts, Founder, WhatOnEarthIsGoingOn?

“The output of versatility and creativity that was realized out of the project was amazing and the clips a pleasure to watch. It´s great to discover and support young talent by working with Filmaka.”

- Susanne Degn, Head of Content, Red Bull Media House
