NYLON STUDIOS' SIMON LISTER WINS THE CANNES SILVER LION IN FILM CRAFT AND SOUND DESIGN FOR “PURE ISLAND”

Nylon Studios’ Simon Lister recently won the Cannes Silver Lion in Film Craft/Sound Design for his work on 'Pure Island', a spot for the beer Pure, by Tasmanian brewery James Boag. Against dramatic visuals of Tasmania's landscape at night, Lister pairs sounds of animals and  wind whipping through trees with a softly strumming guitar. His enigmatic score heightens the cinematic quality of this unique campaign.

The Pure Island campaign was developed at Publicis Mojo, Sydney, by creative director Micah Walker, copywriters Justine Armour and Grant McAloon, agency producer Sacha Loverich, account director Simon Ludowyke, planner Nicole Milward, account manager Tara Seymour.

Filming was shot by director Noam Murro via Revolver, Sydney, and Biscuit Filmworks, Los Angeles, with executive producer Michael Ritchie, producer Shawn Lacy, and director of photography Simon Duggan.
