Calgary International Film Festival wants you to “Unexpect the expected.” And in order to convey this message, Wax Advertising Agency in Calgary, Canada has rolled out a collection of quirky ads that feature unusual endings.
We’re talking about a bloody skinned Russian doll in the center of a Russian doll collection, a very ugly Rapunzel, a little bird eating its parent instead of the worm, and an severed ear (ouch) among the heaps of hair on the floor of a barber shop.
The creative team includes art director Joel Arbez, creative director Joe Hospodarec, copywriters Saro Ghazarian & Sebastian Wilcox, and photographer Jean Perron.
