The new :90 film, called “Train,” combines elements from Westerns and family films to let viewers know they can get movies and more with AT&T unlimited plans. The film uniquely tells the tale of a Wild West train heist in two distinct parts–mashing together suspenseful live action followed by whimsical stop-motion animation to surprise and delight. It is the fourth installment in AT&T’s cinema series blending movie genres in completely unexpected ways.
This cinema spot was directed by Dougal Wilson of production house Furlined, and supported by HouseSpecial (previously known as LAIKA/house), which handled the animation. In fact, the animation director on the project was Paul Harrod, who was the award-winning production designer on Isle of Dogs, the Oscar-nominated film from Wes Anderson. VFX house was Method Studios.
“Train” started screening in theaters last week and will continue through the remainder of the year.

Ad agency Innocean Berlin has launched a full visual rebrand and platform for NewMotion, designed to bring more diverse talent behind the camera by giving German production companies a way to open their sets to new voices.
The launch comes at a pivotal moment for the German film industry: In recent years, Germany has seen global acclaim for Oscar-nominated and award-winning productions like All Quiet on the Western Front and The Teacher’s Lounge. At this year’s Berlinale, the number of national and co-produced films reached an all-time high. Meanwhile, the federal government has committed to nearly doubling its production funding, now reaching €250 million ($291 million U.S.)
But while international demand for German productions is growing, the industry still struggles with lack of diversity, limited access and an over-reliance on networks and connections. NewMotion was created to help change that.
At the heart of the project is Germany’s largest online film industry database, a platform designed to connect production companies with aspiring crew members through on-set shadowing experiences, developed in collaboration with BuzzWoo. Covering more than 60 different behind-the-scenes roles, the online platform provides applicants with hands-on access to an industry that has often been difficult to break into.
The platform provides users with real-time listings for shadowing, internships, and training opportunities. For those unsure where to start, there’s an AI-powered “Skillmatcher” tool, an interactive quiz that suggests suitable film professions based on users’ personal strengths and interests. An additional interactive film experience lets users explore a virtual film set and learn about various roles by clicking on... Read More
