Ogilvy & Mather Asia Pacific: Hollywood rejects acclaimed French cinema masterpieces

An aspiring French filmmaker sits down with Hollywood’s top producers of big budget blockbusters to pitch his seemingly eccentric movie ideas. It doesn’t go well. Unbeknownst to them, the scripts he describes have already been created and released to commercial success and critical acclaim, even winning The Palme d'Or, the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival.

This is the crux of new short films released today by Alliance Française de Singapour, part of the leading global network promoting French language and culture, in support of their efforts to promote French cinema to audiences in Singapore and around the world and grow its popularity.
