Lapiz/Leo Burnett teases Hollywood to promote Chicago Latino Film Festival

Lapiz/Leo Burnett USA new campaign for the 30th edition of the Chicago Latino Film Festival targets all movies aficionados and sends a message to the movie industry: "It's not about special effects, just special stories."

The agency created two films to promote the campaign: "Swine Love" and "Forever Alone Hair," with just a green screen and a couple of characters—including a pig and its executioner and a dog impersonating a cat.

"More than a campaign to invite people to the movies, we wanted to show a point of view about what really matters in the cinema industry: the stories," said Lapiz Executive Creative Director, Fabio Seidl.

The films were produced by Landia and shot in Mexico by Argentinean director Karina Minujin.

"There's nothing like the Latin sense of humor to prove that it doesn't take much to entertain someone" adds Laurence Klinger, Chief Creative Officer of Lapiz.
