Disguised as a trailer for teen horror vampire trailer The Hunting Moon is a viral for the Gates Foundation charity Malaria No More UK. When viewers visit www.thehuntingmoonmovie.com and hit ‘reveal the killers’ a second abbreviated video will play revealing the killers not to be something from a horror film, but mosquitoes carrying the deadly Malaria parasite. The campaign was featured on David Beckham’s homepage, seeded across the internet and has reached 19 millions people worldwide.
Special thanks to: Everyone that made this possible for such a good cause. In particular Mike Skrgatic at Time Based Arts, Tom Lindsay and Ross Hallard at Trim, Max Herman, Tom Joyce & Factory Sound. To see it in context with the reveal visit www.thehuntingmoommovie.com
