You don’t normally see such an interesting mix of briefs in filmmaking competitions and Lamisil® sparked our imagination. What’s great about MOFILM competitions is that they allow us to showcase our work.”
Competition participants from all over the world had just six weeks to make an ad for one of seven leading international brands, including Best Buy, Chex Mix, Lamisil®, Nature Valley, Nokia, Seven Bar and Voltaren Emugel®.
