Mockumentary Mop Head wins #ReefReels comp as Granny Smith takes out Tropfest title

Campaign group GetUp has named mockumentary Mop Head the winner of its #Reefreels short film competition at last night’s storm hit Tropfest festival, beating more than 70 competitors to the title.

The #ReefReels competition was launched in September by campaign group GetUp in a bid to raise more public awareness about the dangers facing the natural wonder of the world. The main Tropfest prize was awarded to short film Granny Smith which was made by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne senior account director Jack White.

On the win Clemenger BBDO Melbourne managing director Paul McMillan said: “We’re really proud of Jack and all the team that were involved in making the film. It’s clear that Jack’s creative talents extend far beyond the walls of Clemenger. We look forward to seeing his next cinematic masterpiece.

Sam Regester, a campaigner for GetUp, told Mumbrella: “We’re really stoked with the entries we had. There were some shot on an iPhone, and other from big production companies, and we had 12 really strong finalists.”
