Wide Open enlisted many of the skills we had developed in online promotion for another successful Australian documentary, Mrs Carey’s Concert.
MRS CAREY’S CONCERT
Wide Open was involved in developing all of the promotional materials for this highly acclaimed Australian documentary. We attended photoshoots to generate key art images, created posters and flyers and press adverts. We also designed and built the pre-launch and subsequent ecommerce websites.
The highly anticipated film created so much interest that when it was reviewed on the ABC Movie Show the subsequent spike in traffic to the website took the site down temporarily.

Mrs Carey’s Concert was the opening film at the Adelaide Film Festival and went on to win numerous awards including AACTA Award for Best Feature Length Documentary, AACTA Award for Best Direction in a Documentary.
