FINCH, Sydney, Australia, was awarded Best of Show for “The Eleven O’Clock” at last night’s (2/13) seventh annual One Screen Short Film Festival, the premiere short film festival from The One Club for Creativity that unites the film and advertising worlds. Following the delusional patient of a psychiatrist who believes he is actually the psychiatrist himself, "The Eleven O’Clock" also picked up a One Screen award in Comedy at the ceremony and screening at the SVA Theater in New York.

Other notable winners on the night included “Rising” by R/GA, New York on behalf of The Ad Council, which picked up three awards, one each in the Fiction, Movie Poster and Art Direction/Production Design categories. 

"Rising," a short film that is a powerful extension of the iconic Love Has No Labels campaign, was directed by Game of Thrones’ David Nutter and written by Lena Waithe--creator of Showtime drama series The Chi and Emmy-winning writer for Master of None--and Azia Squire. The dramatic short film created pro bono by R/GA with production house Great Guns and VFX by Ntropic, follows a group of diverse Americans facing a devastating storm. A closing montage features photos of real disaster survivors coming together regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ability and age.

BBDO New York also had three wins at the One Screen Short fest, on work for AT&T, Johnson & Johnson and Mars Chocolate North America, Snickers.  Observatory and Shutterstock each took home a pair of One Screen awards.

One Screen is part of The One Club for Creativity, the global non-profit organization celebrating creative excellence in advertising and design.  Now in its seventh year, One Screen focuses on all forms and aspects of short films--commercials, music videos, short narratives, spec work, passion projects, movie poster design, credits, etc.--and celebrates the best of the film and ad industries with no limitation and total artistic freedom, all on one screen.  

Entries were received this year from 45 countries and judged by a 79-person jury of leading film directors, producers, ad agency creatives and heads of production companies.  

“Now in its seventh year, One Screen has become a showcase for the passion projects of accomplished filmmakers, as well as a high-visibility forum to recognize promising young talent,” said Jonathan Jirjis, executive producer at One Screen and The One Club.  “We’re thrilled with the range and quality of work submitted this year and congratulate all of our 2019 winners.”
