How can we stay innovative during our time in quarantine? To find out, Tomorrow
Unlocked, a digital content platform from Kaspersky, and The Community Creatives, a Bali-
based creative agency,launched Twelve– an online movement and competition for creatives
across the globe. Participants submitteda oneminute video, depicting their experience of
self-isolation using technology in creative and innovative ways.
The 24 best videos, selected by a jury,are now participating in online voting on the
Tomorrow Unlocked and Community Creatives Instagram channels, to find 12 finalists.
These films,including the overall winner, will be edited together to show a snapshot of a
surreal and unprecedented moment in our history from around the world.
The use of technology means we have never been so united and close to each other while
staying at home. We are able to love and support one another from afar, with technology
being the key medium to keep people connected. While it’s not always easy to stay positive
in a situation like this, it isstill possible to find inspiration and opportunity, which is how
the idea for the competition was born.
Tying in this sense of community, participants from across the globewere asked to film a
oneminute video during the same hour on April 17th. The resulting films demonstrate how independent, self-employed creatives are staying innovative during the quarantine and
how technology helps them to reach out to people and share their ideas. Nearly 500 registrations from 38 countries werereceived, with close to 100 filmmakers sending in a
film.The Tomorrow Unlocked and Community Creatives teams then selected the 24 most creative for the semi-final.
The prize for the winner is $1,200 and each of the 11 finalists will receive a $300 prize.The
creator of the best Instagram story will receive a bonus prize of $100. Once online voting is completed to find the final 12 films, the overall winner will be selected by a jury consisting
of two world-known film-makers, photographers and adventurers,Renan Ozturk and Taylor Rees. The final snapshot film will be presented on Tomorrow Unlocked on April 30th.
“We were pretty overwhelmed by the submissions wereceived. So many of the participants
also told us how happy they were to take on a creative challenge. The films we have seen have something for everyone, with many being funny, sad, energetic, calm, artsy and even
sporty. We get to see how people around the world are coping with this unique situation,
and it is rather fascinating and eye opening,” said Rainer Bock, Head of Content and Platform, Tomorrow Unlocked.
