My story is the one of o stobbourn lad who had in his mind the words of a big man: “the things are not hard to do, what is hard to do is to put yourself in the point of doing them.”( Constantin Brancusi )
I wanted to get to Cannes, I wanted to win the Young Creatives this year, I wanted a lot. But for all I wanted I worked hard, spent hours and hours in front of the PC, walked miles upon miles to get the right pictures, and not the last, thinking as much as possible at the briefs.
I wanted and I knew I can do it.I felt like I was deserving it. It seemed that I was wrong, the short-list was cruel to me and my partner, all that work, all those hours seemed to be not enough to win, but not useless, we have learned a lot. But still, the game was over and we had nothing to do against, just to learn from our errors. But I said to myself that the next year I`ll do better, the best that I could. All it remained to do was to try a last shot in the “15 for Cannes” contest.And thanks to some great people who made it all possible we did quite good things in those contests. And getting in the “15 For Cannes” was about to become one of the best choices that we could take.
So this is one of those magic moments when life smiles to you ( and not ironic) , this is the moment when the TEMPO advertising team comes in the story (happy one). And decided that we will go to Cannes, all 15. We will see and learn what the advertising world has to offer, and we will show and teach to others what we had learned.
And so we, the lucky 15, became silent revolutionaries, the ambassadors of a whole new kind of generation, and what a generation this one is.
But this is already in the past, and what we have in front of us is one huge experience that will explode in our lifes and from there straight on this blog and in our Cannes journals.
And the size of this buum will be epic.
Keep in touch!
Dragos.
