Theo Delaney has scooped gold at the Pharmaceutical Marketing Awards with his Peanut Allergy Awareness film Leo’s Story.

The film dramatises a day in the life of a young sufferer. Its unsettling slow motion images and sinister score reflect the isolation and anxiety that can result from the threat of anaphylactic shock. Made through Hotspur & Argyle’s sister company Watchable, the film was commissioned by Solaris Health on behalf of its client AImmune.

The Gold Craft Award in the Disease Awareness category was presented by comedian Alan Carr at the Grosvenor House PMAwards ceremony.

“Unbelievable!”

Following his triumphant White Hart Lane finale show for Tottenham Hotspur, Hotspur & Argyle’s Theo Delaney brings his highly tuned football instincts and directing chops to the latest Ladbrokes TV campaign. Starring Sky Sports’ Chris Kamara, the ads presented two distinct challenges. The first requirement was for two sequences of football action infused with authenticity and humour. The second was to elicit natural and spontaneous commentaries from Kammy. Creative was by Big Al’s Creative Emporium.

Chris Shepherd is London International Animation Festivals Special Opening Night Guest

Legendary animator and director Chris Shepherd makes a special appearance on the opening night of the London International Animation Festival. The occasion will see the world premier of Shepherd’s eagerly anticipated film Johnno’s Dead and he will take the stage with members of the cast and crew to discuss its making. The live-action/animation hybrid short has been several years in the making and is the sequel to the multi award winning Dad’s Dead.

Shepherd’s work is hilarious and ink-dark in equal measure and his use of live action mixed with a wide range of animation styles means that his execution is invariably as compelling as his deeply unsettling narratives.
