    Junior Film Festival // Art & Copy

    Listen up! We’re having our very own Junior Film Festival. Sounds kinda neat doesn’t it? But as you would expect from us, there’s a twist. There’s only one film. And it’s only one night. We just called it a festival to get your attention. Ha! There. Now we have it. Let’s continue!

    The film is called Art & Copy — an incredible documentary that profiles several living icons of the U.S advertising industry since the ’60s. People like George Lois, Dan Weiden and Lee Clow.

    If you’re keen for that sort of thing, we’ve got a three step process for you to follow:

    1. Watch the trailer below

    2. Click the ‘Buy Now’ button

    3. Tell all your friends

    Now, these steps don’t have to be done in that order. Instead you could buy tickets for all your friends, watch the trailer, and hope like hell that you’re getting what you’ve paid for. Which you will, of course, because we wouldn’t lie.

    You’ll just have to trust us — this movie is a must-see for all creative people.

    Want to know more about Art & Copy? Click here (http://artandcopyfilm NULL.com/).

    When: Monday, 26 April
    Time: 7pm pre-drinks for 7.30pm screening
    Where: Kino Cinema – 45 Collins Street, Melbourne
    Tickets: $17.00


    Once you’ve bought your tickets online, please print your paypal receipt and bring it on the night.

    Junior Event // 14

    Another brilliant Junior event is done, full of incredibly social and interested young awesomes. Andrew Ashton of Studio Pip & Co (http://peoplethings NULL.com/) was an even awesome-er older awesome — he ignored our brief, and told us stories of what inspired him to work. We also got our act together and filmed the thing, so if you missed it you can see it on a screen near you once we’ve edited it up all nice. In the meantime, look at all these kids attentively listening! It’s like a classroom full of learning.

    Junior Event // Xmas Party

    16-12-09/01

    And so it was, on a night of heat and exhaustion, that friends of Junior & Co. gathered for one final time in 2009. There was beer and conversation and pretty people with pretty smiles. Everyone was stirring and gosh were they nice. In fact, it’s definitely safe to say we forced the yuletide out of the closet to announce it’s homosexuality. It was a very gay evening indeed.

    Thanks to everybody who has supported us this year, we couldn’t have done it without you. Well, we probably could have, but no one would have looked at our site or come to our events. So from our deepest cockles we salute you, dear readership. We have no doubt 2010 will be the year your dreams come true.

    Merry Christmas one and all! We love you unconditionally.

    The Juniorinos

    Junior Event // 13

    09-12-09/01

    How great is Thousand Pound Bend (http://thousandpoundbend NULL.com NULL.au/)!? It’s such a versatile venue. It feels like our home with all those couches and bedraggled furniture scattered about. Within this house of comfort and mirth we hosted our December event, presided over by none other than our old friend Stuart Geddes, one of Melbourne’s most visually articulate and clever designers from Chase & Galley (http://www NULL.chaseandgalley NULL.com/). Luckily for those who weren’t there, he’s sent us a copy of his ten tips in ten minutes, which you can download here. If it doesn’t make any sense and you’ve got questions — email us. We’ll tell you what he said to accompany the pictures. It’s only fair.

    See you in February everyone!

    Junior Event // 31 Things

    31T-25-11-09/01

    Who remembers this incredible hit song (http://www NULL.youtube NULL.com/watch?v=Z3JycmdhmI4)? It was the height of ’90s Australian house-techno. I suggest you open it in a new window, press play, then read the following acrostic and acrimonious garbage:

    - -

    Sydney, this is a love letter–

    Yes, within you we had our first event for New South Wang-alang-alang.

    Don’t forget we had help to make it better,

    Nefariously supported by Find Your Yang (http://findyouryang NULL.com/)-alang-alang.

    Everybody who came was very good-looking,

    You should be proud of your collective off-spring-aling-alang.

    - -

    But! When will you see us again?

    Another time, another time.

    Never trust a man named Ben,

    At the event he drank too much wine.

    Not really, I made that bit up,

    And I did it just to rhyme.

    - -

    Special thanks to Notemaker.com.au (http://notemaker NULL.com NULL.au/) for providing the beautiful Rhodia notebooks everyone received on the night — especially the one I tainted with the draft of this terrible poem.

    Oh, not to mention Mel Peters, Andrea Nixon, and Cameron Hoelter for imparting their valuable advice.

    Um, I just really wanted to have ‘SOUP’ as this part of the acrostic poem.

    Probably shouldn’t have said that — just blew my cover. See you in Melbourne next week everyone!

    Junior Event // 11

    07-10-09/01

    See this guy above? That’s Jason! Jason is a junior with a future. He’s a student at RMIT and already has an award (http://www NULL.campaignbrief NULL.com/2009/07/meet-australias-cannes-future NULL.html) from the relevant advertising award show in Cannes. He’s also a nice dude with a lot to say. Jason is the perfect example of the type of kid you’ll find down at the Junior events. Fun, talented and ready to drink. When you’re bored of him or the smell gets to you, there’s plenty more to shoot the shit with. (Sorry man, you don’t really smell. <3?) And if talented juniors aren’t your scene, we always make sure there’s some successful seniors to harass too…

    People like Tom Martin and Julian Schreiber of Clemenger BBDO! They apologised for giving us more than ten tips in ten minutes, but that’s cool cause we didn’t mind. We even tried filming it for the first time, and although it’s definitely not TED (http://www NULL.ted NULL.com), you can still pretend you’re doing something for half an hour. We’re calling it JuniorTV Beta*. We’re gonna film every event with the high level of professionalism you’ve come to expect from us, then put them online. But for now, check out our terribly raw Beta* version, filmed with this piece of shit, by clicking this link here (http://vimeo NULL.com/7053650), here (http://vimeo NULL.com/7053650) (http://vimeo NULL.com/7053650), or here (http://vimeo NULL.com/7053650).

    And if talented people of all ages weren’t enough, we gave away two O’Check stationary packs (http://twitpic NULL.com/kgrjn) worth $80 each. Donated by our terribly generous and pleasant friends at notemaker.com.au (http://notemaker NULL.com NULL.au/). They’re the best. Not only do they sell the best stationary online, they love giving us the expensive high quality shit to give to you. In exchange we say terribly naff things like, “Go to their website and buy stuff!” Yeah! See that? That’s our advertising skills at their peak! Fuck! We’re amazing!

    Oh and let’s not forget 1000 Pound Bend (http://thousandpoundbend NULL.com NULL.au/) was a giant bear hug of a new venue. Ewan is a legend and Tiani is the kindest lady alive. We’ve got big plans for this new venue. Be ready for some wild parties and the most inspiring monthly event Melbourne’s seen since your mum. And by ‘mum’ we mean ‘Monthly Undertakers Meeting’. And by that we mean The First Tuesday Book Club (http://www NULL.abc NULL.net NULL.au/tv/firsttuesday/) on the ABC. Which is totally boring. So yeah. Keep coming. Don’t stop. The End.

    Yours forever and ever,

    The Juniorinos

    Junior Event // 10

    09-09-09/01

    Balloons! We has balloons! Pretty cool huh? Yeah, we thought so too. What’s that? This isn’t a conversation? We’re writing things and pretending you’re answering? Shuddup! So what? We can do what we like. We can ask Mel Campbell from The Enthusiast (http://www NULL.theenthusiast NULL.com NULL.au/) to come along to our event and make an amazing presentation about writing, dogs’ dicks and bogans. We can drink and be merry. We can take photos of you and stick them up here for everyone to see. We are the rulers of our kingdom! All bow before us and our gigantic brains made of three parts smart and one part awesome. Ya-eeeee!

    Just you wait until our next event. It’s gonna be somewhere new! Did you hear that? SOMEWHERE NEW! Where could it be? What will this new Junior escapade entail? When will the world perish? Will it be via tsunami or swine flu? All these and more will be answered as soon as we sit down and stick our massive brains together for an extended period of time. Ha, not really, we’ve already figured them out. We just can’t tell you yet. It’s called ‘marketing gimmick 101′ silly. So as they say at the end of cheesy television shows, ’stay tuned kids!’.

    Yours wonderfully,

    The Senior Juniors.

    Remember when we said we had shit to give away? Well we weren’t jerking you around! Look at all those happy faces. All thanks to our friends at Rhodia and Notemaker (http://notemaker NULL.com NULL.au). Our resident whip-cracker, Stan, (http://branddna NULL.blogspot NULL.com) taught us a life-lesson or two. If you missed out, you can view his presentation sans the english narration here (http://www NULL.slideshare NULL.net/BrandDNA/staying-creative).

    Junior Event // 08

    08-07-09/01

    We’re getting to be good at these things we like to call Junior Events. So what better than to go back to our roots and have the infamous first Junior interviewee Tim Kentley from XYZ Studios throw us a few pieces of advice, while we threw him a few G&Ts. A few too many perhaps since it ended with him telling us that Mick Jagger was his biggest fan. Whoops.

    08-07-09/02 08-07-09/03 08-07-09/04 08-07-09/05 08-07-09/06 08-07-09/07 08-07-09/08 08-07-09/09 08-07-09/10 08-07-09/11 08-07-09/12 08-07-09/13 08-07-09/14 08-07-09/15 08-07-09/16 08-07-09/17 08-07-09/18 08-07-09/19 08-07-09/20 08-07-09/21 08-07-09/22 08-07-09/23 08-07-09/24 08-07-09/25 08-07-09/26 08-07-09/27

    And then there was another. It was fucking freezing but we’re glad that those who showed their faces still managed to make it. Photographer Chris Tovo (http://www NULL.christophertovo NULL.com/) gave us some handy hints at what he thinks it takes to make it. More importantly, Juniors, he was talking to you when he said ‘Never be scared to ask a photographer to shoot your work, specially if it’s a shit hot idea’ (melbourne null@null cistudios NULL.com NULL.au?subject=Attention%20Fran). Enough said.

    10-06-09/02 10-06-09/03 10-06-09/04 10-06-09/05 10-06-09/06 10-06-09/07 10-06-09/08 10-06-09/09 10-06-09/10 10-06-09/11 10-06-09/12 10-06-09/13 10-06-09/14 10-06-09/15 10-06-09/16 10-06-09/17 10-06-09/18 10-06-09/19 10-06-09/20 10-06-09/21 10-06-09/22 10-06-09/23 10-06-09/24 10-06-09/25 10-06-09/26 10-06-09/27 10-06-09/28 10-06-09/29
