'The Gift' Wins Grand Prize at Cannes Lions Advertising Awards

Carl Rinsch's 'The Gift', scored by Amon Tobin, won the Film Craft Grand Prix at the prestigious Cannes Lions Advertising Awards on June 28th 2010. The dystopic sci-fi short was created as part of the Philips 'Parallel Lines' campaign, and word has it that a bidding war broke out among Hollywood studios to turn it into a full-length feature film. Rinsch was recently brought on board to direct a remake of Logan's Run, and is currently in production on 47 Ronin with Keanu Reeves and the highly-anticipated redo of The Creature From The Black Lagoon.
