2016 SXSW Film and Interactive Festival

Two members of the Quirk team, Gaelan and Meryl, have recently submitted to be speakers at the 2016 SxSW Film and Interactive Festival- with sessions you do not want to miss! Part of the decision process is based on online voting via the public.

Gaelan’s session dives into the world of independent film making (his roots), demonstrating how it’s possible to make a high-quality international action movie without a million-dollar budget. If you believe in breaking the confines of Hollywood filmmaking, then this is the session for you. (And trust us, Gaelan works miracles with client budgets on the advertising side of things.)

Meryl’s session is a showcase of Quirk’s recent “American Dream” campaign with Western Union. Meryl and our client will discuss the new age of authentic advertising. If you want to see how crafting authentic stories and sharing them strategically with the public can drive brand awareness, then this is the session for you.
