New Cut Films Competition

Date: 25 Jan 2012

The Deborah Hutton Campaign Launches New Cut Films Competition Aimed at Young People with Plain Packaging Short Film  

The Deborah Hutton Campaign are launching their new anti-smoking short film competition on Friday 13 January 2012. As part of the launch they have written and produced three short films, which are all fronted by youth focused T4 presenter Will Best. 

All films talk about the risks associated with smoking, however one film focuses on plain packaging and uses an animated cigarette pack to show the visual impact of on packet advertising. 

You can view all films in advance using the links below. The links and films will not be made public until launch day.
