Priscilla director looking to break into ad world
Australian feature filmmaker Stephan Elliott, director of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is looking to break into the ad industry.
Elliott, whose most recent film A Few Best Men opened strongly at the local box office, has tried to get into advertising before, but movie commitments have held him back.
Now ads are his primary focus, he told Mumbrella.
The 47 year-old has joined the stable of directors at Susie Douglas’s production company Film Motel.
Camp, Priscilla styled ads sound ideal to me!
Good luck. Lots of good directors have made the leap. Though sack-cloth & ashes will be required at first.
Just don’t try to make every ad a 30 sec cut of a 90 minute feature. (see recent Voiceless TVC by a cinema bod as an example)
Thats one way to find a job. Get me one too
