Telstra reminds moviegoers to put their phones on silent, via new films from +61 and Bear Meets Eagle On Fire

Telstra (via Bear Meets Eagle on Fire and +61) has launched a set of silent short films for cinema-goers, reminding them to put their phones on silent.

The announcement:

To remind audiences to put their phones on silent, Telstra has created a campaign of cinema, for cinema, with a series of intriguing, silent short films.

The films – Mirror Mirror, Four-Legged Friend and Magnetic Boy – are directed by FINCH’s Dougal Wilson in his first Australian production and commercial project since 2018.

Brent Smart, CMO of Telstra says: “So much care and craft has gone into these, I can’t wait to see them before some animated film my kids make me watch.”

Micah Walker, founder and chief creative officer of Bear Meets Eagle On Fire, says:

“This is such a simple, fun idea and getting to work with Dougal again has just made that even better. We couldn’t be happier with how they’ve come to life.”

Dougal Wilson, director says:

“It was a delight to work with Micah and his team and Telstra on such a fun project. I loved these ideas and crafting them with my wonderful production team and crew was a hugely enjoyable experience.”
