Last Friday, BACON scooped most of the film Gold’s at the “Creative Circle Awards” in Copenhagen...
MARTIN WERNER took gold (again) and silver in the category "Direction". Gold for his SAS spot featuring singer Tina Dickow - and Silver for his SAS spot featuring Danish Le Mans champion Tom Kristensen - agency WIBROE, DUCKERT & PARTNERS, copenhagen.
In the category "Commercials - Single", KASPER WEDENDAHL's spot for SCOR.DK took gold as well - agency ROBERT BOISEN & LIKE-MINDED, Copenhagen.
For some confusing reason we can’t show the spot here – its a rather strange tale of copyrights and internet seeding... but if you’re really discreet, a private showing can be arranged in a dark basement somewhere in your neighborhood - but please be aware, that if you talk or tell, we will have to kill you.
DOP Lasse Frank shot all 3 spots. www.lassefrank.com
As for the SHANGHAI WORLD EXPO, MARTIN DE THURAH made his tribute to the Danish pavilion, shooting a series of intriguing and beautiful films. The films are personal yet manages to reflect a side of Denmark that is quite far from the stereotype postcard spots normally affiliated with promotion of a country.
You can have a peek at one of the films here:
If your Danish is good enough you should have a look at Danish newspaper “Politiken” and their lovely critique of the exhibition & the films here.

Finally, we are ready to launch our digital vision!
In Jonas Drehn, former VFX-supervisor at the Copenhagen based post-house Duckling, we have found our perfect partner & visual creative director for their future CGI projects & web-based work! With the world pointing further towards animation, campaign-led sites & microsites, BACON has reformed our platform to meet these specific needs.
Initially, the BACON idea has been to create a production company with the emphasis on high-end creative work. Far too often, experiences shows a gab between the digital department & film department, as they are placed in different units in different companies - with a collaboration startpoint way too late in the campaign timetable to focus on doing something extraordinary. With Jonas Drehn on board, BACON has pimped the shop digitally - the well-liked jobs are the ones where film production & storytelling meets animation & web design for the same campaign in question! Horray!!
Welcome, Jonas!

The winner at the ODENSE FILM FESTIVAL in the category Best Danish Short Fiction: Young Man Falling by Martin de Thurah!
The jury wrote:
“The prize for the best short fiction goes to a director that with a steady hand challenges the narrative possibilities of film. In a visually convincing examination of cracks of the mind he is able to create an atmosphere, where the audience in a claustrophobic way is drawn into a young mans inner and sees a world in dissolution with his eyes. In the border land between the real and the un-real you ever know when the carpet will be pulled from under you, and you are left with an almost physical experience of being in decay oneself.”

BACON is proud to announce the world wide representation of the danish director LASSE MARTINUSSEN. Lasse saw the light of day in 1980 and started out directing narrow and quirky short films in 1997. He quickly moved on directing, photographing and editing his first music videos, short to become one of the most hunted promo directors in Denmark. Lasse's sense of creating extraordinary visual concepts is outstanding throughout his works. By understanding the depths and the power of visual and artistic effects, Lasse takes the audience inside memorable, unexplored worlds.
