Dog and Bone

Usually I refrain from connecting my daytime work with Zanzig.com, but this time I just have to do it, and there is a good chance that you may like it.

In my department at BenQ mobile we do not only see a lot of new technology earlier than the average Joe, but we do also work with some bright talents creating content for these new technologies. After all, what is a technology without any valid use case?

One of the finest examples for such new content is the sponsorship of the MicroMovie Awards, which encourages young directors to submit short movies optimized for mobile phones. We are proud that this early engagement resulted in a mini-series, exclusively designed for BenQ mobile devices. It's called "Dog&Bone" and tells the story of a mobile phone that after a mishap ends up in the mouth of a dog named Ben - who then spends an exciting day in the city.

Directed by Andreas Hafele, each episode will take you further in the hilarious story. Hafele was one of the nominated directors for the MicroMovie Awards in 2004, and in July 2006 he won the "Young Director Award Cannes 2006".

If you like the idea, please feel free to download the movie free of charge from the BenQ site - and, of course, tell your friends about it. :-)
