A couple of months ago I saw an incredible independent film during the Sundance Film Festival entitled, Art & Copy.

Directed by Doug Pray, the film presents the stories of the people behind the most influential ad campaigns in history—including such people as Lee Clow (Apple Computer 1984, and today’s iPod), Dan Wieden (“Just Do It”), Phyllis K. Robinson (who invented the “me generation” with Clairol), Hal Riney (who helped President Reagan get re-elected), and George Lois (who saved MTV and launched Tommy Hilfiger overnight).

Since I saw it at the Sundance Festival, the film has been previewed in a number of cities. It is being shown now at the Seattle Film Festival (today is the festival’s first day—runs through June 14th). If you happen to be in Seattle over the next few weeks, try to get a ticket and see it.

Griping and inspiring. Hopefully it will come back to Utah. You can learn more about the film on their website.
