A campaign for cinema, directed by Dougal Wilson.

To remind audiences to put their phones on silent, Telstra has created a campaign of cinema, for cinema, with a series of silent short films.

The films – Mirror Mirror, Four-Legged Friend and Magnetic Boy – are directed by FINCH’s Dougal Wilson in his first Australian production and commercial project since 2018.

Telstra CMO Brent Smart said so much care and craft has gone into these.

"I can’t wait to see them before some animated film my kids make me watch," Smart said.

Bear Meets Eagle On Fire founder and chief creative officer Micah Walker said this is such a simple, fun idea and getting to work with Dougal again has just made that even better.

"We couldn’t be happier with how they’ve come to life," Walker said.

Director Dougal Wilson said it was a delight to work with Micah and his team and Telstra on such a fun project.

"I loved these ideas and crafting them with my wonderful production team and crew was a hugely enjoyable experience," Wilson said.
