Hasta La Ideas

Chris Palmer has directed this saucy little viral to help encouarge aspiring directors to enter this year’s Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase. The film stars a porn director who longs to be in advertising…

The Saatchi & Saatchi Showcase is always one of the hottest tickets at the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival (which takes place this year from June 17-23). It offers the young directors featured the chance to get their work in front of some of the top folks in adland. The deadline for entries this year is April 18. For more info, go to saatchi.com/new_directors_showcase.

We also have features on charity advertising and new Pentagram partner Marina Willer.
