ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and
inspiration.Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it
reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential
advertising creatives of our time - people who've profoundly
impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their
industry. Exploding forth from advertising's "creative revolution"
of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly
rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated
with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan
Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY
were responsible for "Just Do It," "I Love NY," "Where's the Beef?,"
"Got Milk," "Think Different," and brilliant campaigns for
everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the
attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with
their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected,
and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light
in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human
emotion.
