M&C Saatchi’s executive CD Ben Welsh set to judge the Knog No Ordinary Night Film Contest

M&C Saatchi executive creative director Ben Welsh is judging a film comp like no other.

The Knog No Ordinary Night Film Contest is an online comp and 24-hour global film festival championing nocturnal adventures.

The comp’s format is completely unique in that the winning films screen around the world in one night across seven countries – Melbourne, Manila, Munich, Paris, London, San Fran, Rio are all hosting viewing parties over the 24 hours of 6 June.

It’s a global night film comp whose finale is truly a global night of film.

With over US $15,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, cycle accessories supremeos Knog are on the hunt for the best night-time adventure video-makers.

Whether it’s bike, skateboard, surf or dive, Knog want to see it.

Although not a mandatory, entrants are encouraged to use action cams plus a Knog light – whether as one of their video lights or even a bike light.

Knog are all about letting people flex their creative muscle when it comes to night-time film making.

Welsh is joined on the judging panel by Rolling Stone editor Mat Cotye and Knog CEO Hugo Davidson.

Says Davidson: “Deciding to run a film comp celebrating those heroes of the night, those guys who are out there smashing the mould and creating awe-inspiring action videos in the dark seemed like an absolute no-brainer to us.

“And having just released the [qudos] action light for GoPro this is a perfect opportunity to do something to celebrate.”

The No Ordinary Night film contest runs from 2 to 24 May with the global film festival taking place on 6 June.
