Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

In this film we see robots sneak out from the bushes, luxuriate in car's good looks, experience its incredible tech, and then frantically drive the car back to the future, after being startled by the family dog. The car displayed in this film is so forward thinking, so technologically advanced and so good looking, that even a group of high-tech, highly futuristic robots are amazed by its impeccable design. A car that looks so futuristic that it really shouldn’t be available in 2021. The bold design expresses an innovation led future. The campaign execution sees robots coming from the future to steal back what is rightfully theirs from 2021. We see robots creep from the bushes, luxuriate in the vehicle’s good looks, experience its incredible tech, and then frantically drive the car back to the future.

Tell the jury about the production design / art direction.

Atmospheric, painterly, and like a Crewdson photograph come to life; the world that the director has created is relatable to the everyday Australian but heightened by natural elements of the Aussie night to become a cool, epic, spectacle unlike anything ever before seen on our screens. This mixing of the other-worldly and the real world we all know is where the magical realism comes to life. We had a lot of fun in imagining ways that the suburbs react to their intergalactic visitors. From dogs in gardens barking, to sprinklers flicking on, to the lonely quiet roads lit by flickering street lamps – all this attention to detail helps to create a magical atmosphere in a deeply relatable space.
