Back in 2008 the boys from Sticky Pictures Mark Albiston and Luis Sutherland came into our Kolektiv Design Studio store in Wellington. They mentioned who they were and what they were up to, straight off the bat we knew these chaps were good, down to earth kiwi lads with a world scope and large hearts. Since our first meeting we loved what they’re doing in the film industry and have been supporting the boys with funky tee shirts for their global ventures.
Spotted here wearing Kolektiv Commonwelath and Kolektiv Aotearoa Font tees.
Some of their awards include:
The Six Dollar Fifty Man won the Coopers Award for Best Film at Flickerfest 2010
The Six Dollar Fifty Man has won the top prize- the Jury Prize in International Short Filmmaking- at the 26th Sundance Film Festival in Utah. This award further qualifies The Six Dollar Fifty Man for consideration for an Academy® Award nomination.
THE SIX DOLLAR FIFTY MAN ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE OSCARS
Taken from SDGNZ newsletter.
The Six Dollar Fifty Man directed by SDGNZ members Louis Sutherland and Mark Albiston has won Best Drama at Aspen Shortfest, USA.
The win marks the short film's fourth Oscar® qualifying film festival award to date - further qualifying it for consideration for the Academy® Award nomination in 2011. It's gone from strength after having its world premier and gaining Special Distinction at Cannes last year. This year it has already won the Jury Prize in International Short Film making at Sundance, Best Narrative Short at Cinequest Film Festival, USA and also the Cooper Award for Best Short Film at Australasia's only Academy qualifying film festival, Flickerfest.
The short also won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Los Angeles Prize for Excellence, as part of its selection at Aspen Shortsfest.
Written and directed by Wellingtonians Mark Albiston and Louis Sutherland and produced by Wendy Cuthbert, The Six Dollar Fifty Man tells the story of a gutsy 8 year old boy who retreats into a make believe world to deal with playground bullying.
