Parallel Lines

I love branded content.  I know how weird that sounds, but some of the best films come out of the genre because the sponsor offers a realistic budget and if the director does the job well... you are not inundated with he product like big blockbusters utilize product placement.  Phillips has launch a campaign called Parallell Lines.

Here's the deal:
Five short films. 
Five genres. 
Five of RSA's hottest directors. 
One unifying piece of dialogue.
"What is that?
It's a unicorn.
Never seen one up close before.
Beautiful.
Get away, get away.
I'm sorry."
