FOR LOVERS TO LOVERS

Creatives in ad agencies are always looking for a different way to sell things outs. The difficult part is not developed a whole 360 campaing, the difficult part of doing a great campaign is to work the things out with the client´s budget and the other is to sell that thing to the client, to convince them that the idea is going work. In this case we have a good idea with a brilliant execution.
Somethimes the idea has to traduce into a good execution , otherwise it wouldnt work.
Believe or not , this guy was sit one day long, as you can see it catched a lot of attention by the public

This is kind of late but i just needed to bring this up. The killers is one of the most famous rockbands in the world. Since the beginning , their first album is considered one of the best albums of the century, the second one consolidate their career . But this third one just make me want to cry, pretty bad to be honest.
Coachella is considering The killers as a huge headliner for this 2009 event.

He is a french artist with a huge and stellar performance , actually the critics have named one of the best act lives. Now we have the huge opportunity to this french rebelion in Mexico city, this weekend at MX beat.

CHE

Che Guevara
Ernesto “Che” Guevara is an Argentine Marxist revolutionary fighting for the rights of people. Part one of the movie involves the 26th of July Movement in which Che participated alongside Fidel Castro in 1959 to overthrow the Fulgencio Batista government of Cuba.
The movie shifts from Mexico to Cuba, it is presented in a matter-of-fact way. People can see Guevara and his men combating with government troops on their way to victory over the American-backed dictator Batista.
Guevara became man an legend for most of South America, his impressive personal traits as bravery and brilliantness were dedicated to his cause and was an icon among revolutionaries. Benicio Del Toro, just as handsome and charismatic actor as Guevara plays him onscreen.
Thanks to Guevara, the poor weren’t quit as poor and a corrupt regime was toppled, but in its place came a dictatorship. Fifty years after the so-called liberation, there has been no free election in Cuba.
It is always great to see filmmakers to make more independent projects. Steven Soderberg has taken the "one for them, one for me" concept of film-director politics to an almost comically programmatic extreme.
This movies shows that they can make something that will appeal to the mainstream but also that they can divert their talent toward something that they can put more thought and personal investment into.
