Case study: Ford / JWT Team Detroit In its first project with Ford and agency JWT Team Detroit, Filmaka and its community created “Mustang Stories,” twenty short films based on real-life stories submitted by drivers of the iconic vehicle. Ford/JWT came to Filmaka because they needed original content for the 2010 Mustang’s website and creative for the nine 1:00 commercials purchased in NBC’s Knight Rider. Films needed to be written, shot, and edited in just over five weeks. Filmaka received 400 pitches from filmmakers in 30 countries. 22 films were produced - shot in U.S., Canada, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, and UK. Grand Prize Winner, UK-based Jonathan Newman attended the LA Auto Show where his film “Father’s Day” introduced the 2010 Mustang. JWT then hired him to shoot a one hour cable documentary, shot in Japan. Filmaka subsequently hired Newman to direct its first feature film, Swinging with the Finkels, starring Martin Freeman and Mandy Moore. “It’s the quickest, most efficient, creative thing the Ford Motor Company has ever done.” - Al Uzielli, Sr. Advisor, Ford Global Brand Entertainment ©2010 Filmaka, Inc.

(on MSN) than to ask ‘filmakas’ around the world the question in a series of short films.

Filmaka is a wonderful open source way of accessing new ideas and talent from new places.” - David Alberts, Founder, WhatOnEarthIsGoingOn? “The output of versatility and creativity that was realized out of the project was amazing and the clips a pleasure to watch.
