Unique Properties
In this campaign, we aim to bring an immersive experience to the audience at the premiere of the movie Boxed, written and directed by Alam Virk. As we follow the main character, Andy Whiteman, we are forced to confront the reality that we too are often fed with modern culture and trapped in a vacuum of superficial living. Through various mediums, including posters and wristbands with curated copywriting, we seek to reinforce the movie's theme and deepen the audience's understanding of the void state of being portrayed on the screen.

Design Challenge
We are faced with the challenge of how to intrigue the audience without telling the full story of the movie.
Project Duration
This project started in August 2022 and finished in November 1, 2022 in New York, NY.
Operation Flow
Considering this movie is the second film from an award-winning indie director, the whole campaign needs to be tailor-made. The logic of this campaign is to serve the story. Each application speaks to the scene in the movie and emphasizes the box metaphor.
Research
For the typeface choice, since the movie color plate is quite vintage and the plot is suffocating, I chose a condensed, thick and historical typeface that fits the movie's story. This campaign also tries to carry the box metaphor throughout. As for the ending credits, most typography layouts are rigid box shapes, including punctuation marks, to emphasize the box concept. Wristbands look similar to handcuffs. And from an architectural standpoint, the screening room is a box made of concrete. To leave more impression on the audience, we also distribute wristbands that say" boxed, aren't we" as they enter the screening room.
Inspiration
All applications are reinforcement of the idea of being boxed. For the opening title, the main character rips off the film title. For the ending credits, to emphasize the box concept, most typography layouts are rigid box shapes, including punctuation marks. At the premiere night, the stuff pass is tagged with the slogan we are boxed as the punchline for the event. Waistbands that say boxed, aren't we are distributed as the audience enters the screening room.
