Project Power
This fiery first trailer for Project Power has our attention. The sci-fi thriller directed by duo Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost – who previously co-directed films Catfish and Paranormal Activity 3, hits Netflix on August 14th.
This has been a big project for the film teams in both LDN and MTL and we’re very excited to see it all come to life.
The film’s posters were also unveiled this week.
Welcome Mack, Donald’s
The. Mac. is. back. The LDN advertising team did some clean up and colour grade on this commercial which captures the excitement of the good people awaiting their first McDonald’s after lockdown. The ad was shot under social distancing guidelines and makes great use of user-generated content.

Interested in combating climate change?
CHOOSE LIFE is an empowering call for Climate Change action, written and commissioned by Project Everyone, a non-profit organisation led by Richard Curtis. The voice over in the film is inspired by the iconic opening scene of Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting and will also feature Iggy Pop’s iconic ‘Lust for Life’ soundtrack. RSA director Adam Smith has an ambitious vision for the film: (DECK_&_SCRIPT) that relies on getting incredible material.
As members of APA, we’ve been invited to contribute to the Choose Life project through submissions of footage, photographs, animation and art that they can use for the campaign. Maybe it’s a student film, a personal project, a series of photographs, a performance, a home movie or cutting room floor trimmings from a massive movie, or anything that evokes the overarching tone.
If you would like to contribute in any way please send your submissions to RSA producer Emma Cairns emmacairns1@gmail.com.
