Festival of Slaps:
Abdou Cisse x BBC Film
Festival of Slaps is described as an ‘Explosively hilarious BBC short film that celebrates the unsung heroes; Black Mums’. Written and Directed by Abdou Cissé, best known for his award-winning short film ‘Serious Tingz’, Festival of Slaps is a beautifully built film package, that uses its carefully crafted brand world to give it a life beyond the screen.
By Nevele was brought onto this project by the film’s creator Abdou Cissé. We were tasked with designing a campaign/brand world from an advertising perspective. Similar to By Nevele founder Gideon Cudjoe, Abdou began his career in advertising and shares similar brand beliefs to By Nevele - Film promotion and marketing material should be approached with the same consideration and creativity as a 360 degree advertising campaigns. The film will serve as a portal into a theme/concept and the showcase will utilise experiential elements that make it memorable and culturally relevant.
By Nevele were able to consult on and create the films visual identity, the campaigns creative direction, the title designs and both print and digital posters for media spaces including social media and out of home spaces.
