Director Bruno Aveillan of Quad Productions teamed with Paris ad agency Altmann + Pacreau on this powerful film, The Cry, for 30 Millions d’Amis (30 Million Friends), a French organization dedicated to fighting for the welfare and protection of all animals.
This film provides a unique sensory experience which sheds a poignant, heart-wrenching light on the cruelty that many defenseless animals have to endure as they are subjected to varied forms of abuse, including abandonment, intensive farming, bull fighting, animal testing, hunting abuses and circus animal exploitation.
The Cry is part of a campaign that challenges politicians to handle animal protection as a core social issue. Altmann + Pacreau imagined a campaign featuring the brutality of human indifference towards the plight of animals–animals who find themselves united by the same cry of despair.

OMC, Director Andreas Nilsson Trade “Youth” For Skittles
Teaming with creative agency partner OMC, consisting of DDB Chicago and Critical Mass, Skittles rolled out a campaign to playfully spotlight what is often dubbed “Gen Z’s commitment paralysis” by asking them to commit to their love for the brand in the most extreme ways possible. Case in point is this spot titled “Youth,” directed by Andreas Nilsson of Biscuit Filmworks. The film introduces us to a grandson who willingly gives up his youth to his grandma in exchange for her delicious fruity Skittles. It’s a unique and twisted take on commitment that perfectly embodies the Skittles brand. Colin Selikow, chief creative officer, DDB Chicago, said, “We’re thrilled to create another iteration of our ‘Verb the Rainbow. Taste the Rainbow’ platform, bringing a new way to connect with Gen Z in the absurd fashion Skittles is famous for. Our latest film “Youth” brings a classic Skittles vibe to a new generation of fans, giving them the most nonsensical way to commit to the brand.” Read More
