The slaves of Django Unchained

20130126-210242.jpg

Slav­ery, a topic where not much peo­ple know some­thing about. Like the usa only has a his­tory of 100 years. Yeah sure.

The usa is some strange coun­try. The mur­dered almost all indi­ans (native amer­i­cans) and at the same time they imported african peo­ple to work for them. Black slaves treated like not-human-beings to work for peanuts.

Because the slave his­tory of the usa is not some­thing to be proud of, there are a very few films about slav­ery. Quentin Taran­tino is one of the direc­tors who dares to make a film around such a con­tro­ver­sial topic.

In Django Unchained we explore the world of slav­ery. We fol­low the life of Django. A slave who gets unchained and trans­forms in a bounty hunter. This is the kind of his­tory les­son I always longed for. Thanks Quentin for this great alter­na­tive his­tory lesson.

And remem­ber: The D is silent.

A few weeks ago we shot in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the ams­ter­dam based adver­tis­ing agency achtung a video where two granny’s are giv­ing com­ments at the best inter­ac­tive adver­tis­ing cam­paigns of last year curated by the big boss of achtung Mervyn Ten Dam. The granny’s are talk­ing about html 5, the well inte­grated social media and the future of advertising.
