Background - In Hong Kong, domestic violence against children increased by 29% in 2023. In one of the world's most densely populated cities, we hear it all the time. But as neighbours, most of us stay silent.
Idea - To illustrate the reality that violence surrounds us(and to urge people to report suspected crimes), we re-created the iconic' Dolby Atmos 7.1 Surround Sound Demo'.
Execution - Working closely with Dolby Surround Sound technicians, we replaced every sound element with hard-hitting sounds of real violence. In collaboration with acclaimed director Nick Cheuk, we then surpised cinema-goers before every sceening of his award-winning film,' time still turns the pages' - a poignant tale about a young boy's struggle with family trauma, abuse and the weight of suicidal thoughts.
The message was clear: The sound of violence is all around you. If you hear it, don’t ignore it. Report it.
