The One Club’s 34th annual One Show gala on Wednesday night (5/6) at Manhattan’s Lincoln Center bestowed its best-of-show honor to agency CumminsNitro/Brisbane, Australia, for the Queensland Tourism “Best Job in the World” integrated branding campaign. The campaign featured a contest in which the winner received $150,000 Australian dollars and a six-month dream “job” as an island caretaker overlooking the Great Barrier Reef.
Another prime One Show highlight was Goodby, Siliverstein & Partners, San Francisco, winning the competition’s first eco-friendly Green Pencil as well as two Gold Pencils for the already much lauded Haagen-Dazs “Help The Honey Bees” campaign, work that helped Goodby earn distinction in December as SHOOT‘s Agency of the Year in calendar year 2008.
Goodby toped the One Show derby with seven Pencils, followed by Saatchi & Saatchi New York with six, including a pair of Golds for the Crest “Smiles” initiative.
In the global race, top Pencil winners at the 2009 One Show included the U.S. with 39 pencils (8 Gold, 15 Silver, 16 Bronze), Australia with six (2 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze), Malaysia with five (2 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze), Canada (1 Gold, 3 Silver) and the U.K. (4 Bronze) with four apiece and Argentina (1 Silver, 2 Bronze), Brazil (3 Bronze) and Thailand (1 Silver, 2 Bronze) each with three Pencils.

Jane Schoenbrun Jolts Cannes With Queer Slasher Movie “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma”
"A good electric chair" is how Jane Schoenbrun describes their first Cannes Film Festival premiere.
"I really felt like my body was in a state of convulsion," says Schoenbrun.
The day after the premiere of "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma," a bold, bloody queer slasher film starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, Schoenbrun and their co-stars were still buzzing from the ecstatic response. The movie, one of the most prominent American films in Cannes this year, gave the festival a gonzo jolt.
For Schoenbrun, the leading trans filmmaker of their generation, the film extends their intensely personal exploration of gender and the movies that defined their youth. But their first two films — 2024's "I Saw the TV Glow" and 2021's "We're All Going to the World's Fair" — were the raw, burning products of Schoenbrun's transition.

I've done it,'" says Schoenbrun. "Then the next year I came back and I was so depressed. I decided to quit my job. If I'm depressed at Cannes,... Read More
