“It’s always special to be recognised by your peers, and makes me remember early in my career, looking at the ADG as something to aspire to. It’s a great honour,” photoplay director, Husein Alicajic said of the Awards.

“I’ve always been motivated by magic and everyday wonder, and this script really allowed us to bring children’s imaginations to life. The Officeworks campaign allowed us to make more than just pretty pictures.”
