“Official 2009 Sundance selection Art & Copy captures an inside look at the real people behind pop culture's most iconic advertisements. Director Doug Pray interviews the mad men (and women) who influenced culture with ads like "Just Do It," "Think Small," "Got Milk?" and "Where's the Beef?" The documentary zeroes in on the creative side of an industry often associated with crass manipulation, lauding a select ingenious few who are virtually unknown outside their professional circle.”

Fri, Nov 13 – Thu. Nov 19.
ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time -- people who've profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for "Just Do It," "I Love NY," "Where's the Beef?," "Got Milk," "Think Different," and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion.
