Twenty 120

The concept for Twenty 120 was conceived in 2007 under a simple premise: 20 films, each 120 seconds. The theme was Change , given that the format itself was a departure from the norm. The idea was to pull together a diverse group of directors, free them of any creative constraints and offer a platform to show original innovative content. The directors were all invited on the premise that they create for themselves and not for any commercial purpose. All work remains under the complete ownership of the directors. The result was a diverse offerings of films, aired first at the PromaxBDA conference in New York as an eclectic mix of narrative and design, with a wide range of tonality from the whimsical, to the serious, to absurd. The content then launched online with views and responses from around the world. For the 2008 collection, the directors continue where they left off in 2007. Staying true to the ideals of creativity and innovation, with a theme of Truth vs. Deception , they come together to create a ground-breaking collection of short films that use live-action, effects, animation, comedy, action and verité. Twenty 120 remains dedicated to the definition of creative an original product of human invention or artistic imagination by celebrating the work of artists around the world.
