Secret Cinema presents BLADE RUNNER



Secret Cinema is a growing community of all who love cinema, experience and the unknown.

Secret audience. Secret locations. Secret worlds.

The time is now to change how we watch films.

Whisper only amongst yourselves. Tell no-one.


Well, with over 60,000 Facebook fans, it's not really a secret anymore. Every couple of months, the guys behind Secret Cinema invite you to watch a movie, but they won't tell you what it's all about. They'll give you clues, like "wear goggles, bring an umbrella, beware of acid rain, we're going to another planet". Participants are asked to assemble at a certain area and they are lead to the secret venue where the movie will be shown. 


When Secret Cinema screened BLADE RUNNER, they brought the movie-goers into a warehouse that resembled the neon-lit Chinatown in the movie, where they interacted with the Decard, Pris, Rachael, and Gaff. 







During the classic scene where Roy Batty lamented about seeing the attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, two actors repelled down the screen and re-enacted the scene live! Makes me wish I could've attended this secret screening. 



Before the movie began, some people were scanned and tested to find out if they were replicants.



Subjecting the movie-goers a retinal scan and the Voight-Kampff test was the ingenious solution of the McCann London team on how to incorporate Microsoft's Windows 7 phone into event -- without doing the usual posters and banners that you see in movie events.




Would be great if we can do a similar type event in the Philippines.

Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...

The Flag Bearer I have always found it curious that in Philippine pop culture, there has never been a popular flag-bearing character. In United States, the obvious example would be Captain America; followed by Wonder Woman (with her red, white, blue and star-spangled outfit) and of course, Superman (whose costume follows the color motif of the American flag). They became symbols for the American people during World War II. In the days after 9/11, more New Yorkers were seen wearing their Superman and Captain America t-shirts. If we take a look at other countries, they didn’t seem to see the need to create such a character. Even when Marvel created characters like The Guardian (a Canadian super-hero) and Union Jack (a British super-hero), they didn’t seem to develop a big enough following and have comic book titles that reached the 100th issue or spin-off to become a TV or cartoon show. Here in the Philippines, popular characters like Darna and Panday are not “flag bearers”. I guess, ...

Will you Play it Safe in 2025?

One of my favorite songs which I learned about early this year. Our boss at the agency played this at one of our town hall meetings. It's reminder to all creators that we will always be told to "stick to safe ideas" (which is fine, if you just want to get the work done and go home) but there will always be this other voice at the back of your head that will ask, "Maybe there's another way to do this? Maybe there's a better way to tell this story? Maybe you can tell if from a different point of view and make this old story feel like new? Maybe you can spend a few more minutes working on it? How about it? Let's give it a try? Another hour trying to re-write? Let's give it a go!" What I love about this song is how the lyrics take on the conservative point-of-view and how the visuals show us the exact opposite. One of my favorite bits of this song is this part, where the lyrics starts to give you a "list of commands", like it's a list o...
