All that glitters gold at Adfest

42,840,311…and growing per second, that’s almost 43 million, 11 times the population of New Zealand, the same amount of miles from earth to mars for each youtube view of  Melbourne animator Julian Frost’s Dumb Ways to Die. But it’s not only the mega views which won this spot the top prize at Adfest in Thailand – it’s a brilliantly catchy way of getting a safety message across for Australian Metro. 

Other gold winners in the Film Lotus category were:

The The Sweet Shop director Steve Ayson’s Carlton Draught, Beer Chase
