SABMiller Gets Outpouring of Content from Filmaka
 
THE ASSIGNMENT
SABMiller, one of the world's largest brewers, wanted 3-minute shorts of original content. They
were looking for clips that told a story - not a commercial.

THE RESPONSE
Filmaka asked our global community to submit scripts using SABMiller's theme "Because life is
what you pour into it." We received almost 150 submissions in one month.
 
THE OUTCOME
Together, SABMiller and Filmaka selected 15 scripts and funded their production with $1500 each. The finished films were
turned in a few weeks later and 5 of them were chosen as winners to receive another $5000 cash.

"We were excited to see how filmmakers around the world interpreted our theme 'Because Life Is What You Pour Into It'.
SABMiller is passionate about beer and all our brands, so were very impressed to see this reflected in the quality and
creativity of the winning films. We'd like to thank Filmaka and its members for the effort they committed to this innovative
competition.” -Charlie Hiscocks, Senior Global Communication Director
