Sydney creative Craig Rosenthal launches ‘Shanghai Love Market’ at Flickerfest 2013
Flickerfest 2013 will premiere a short film written and directed by Sydney creative Craig Rosenthal at Bondi Pavilion as part of Best Australian shorts program No 3 on Monday 14 January at 9pm and Thursday 17 January at 4;30pm.
Rosenthal, currently freelancing at Droga5, wrote Shanghai Love Market after stumbling across a park in Shanghai where anxious parents string up posters trying to find the perfect match for their kids.
Says Rosenthal: “I write ad campaigns for a living but I’m not sure I’ve got a thing on the thousands of parents who advertise the unique selling benefits of their children on the posters they create.”
This comedy short film tells the story of one mother trying a little too hard to advertise her son with karmic consequences.
This film has won accolades at Palm Springs, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. Flickerfest will be Shanghai Love Market’s Australian premier.
