Art & Copy

I know, I know, sorry for the third movie post in a row, but I keep forgetting to put this up and I'm pretty excited about it. 

Yeah, I left my Advertising roots behind for the time being (I got my B.A. in Advertising but decided before graduating that I was more interested in design), but it still fascinates me. The psychology, the art, and the pure luck involved in the Ad world is definitely worth making a non-fiction movie about. So they finally did.

The film was directed by Doug Pray, a guy who's also made documentaries about graffiti artists, hip-hop DJs, semi truck drivers, and the Seattle grunge music scene (all of which I now really want to check out!).

Here's the trailer for Art & Copy:

 

 

And here's hoping it'll give people a more realistic idea than Mad Men.
