Commenting on the launch of the competition on 4th May 2006, Trevor Robinson, the founder of Quiet Storm said: “As a creative I have always been frustrated with missed opportunities and sometimes having your best ideas thrown away. This competition is a brilliant way to get those unsung strokes of genius made and out there.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing what comes out of this and I think there will be some really exciting work which will challenge the sterile and sometimes creatively starved commercials that we all see on the TV.”

The ideas and end films must be no longer than 60 seconds in length and the scripts should be submitted by email to projectile@quietstorm.co.uk.

The closing deadline for submissions is 29 May 2006. A panel of industry experts, headed by Robinson, will judge short-listed submissions.

The winning film will be fully funded and produced by Quiet Storm Films and will be released over the internet as a viral. The feature film director, writer and television presenter Richard Jobson, who recently signed for commercials representation with Quiet Storm Films, will direct the winning script.

About the Projectile Campaign:
Projectile is supported by a microsite embedded within the Quiet Storm Films website (www.quietstormfilms.com) The competition invitation will also be sent out as an email to creatives at advertising agencies, digital agencies and design companies and will be seeded on the internet.
