00:02 - For three years, we've been partnering

00:17 with the Cannes Film Festival,

00:19 and through that partnership,

00:20 we've decided to really highlight

00:22 the massive talents that are on the platform.

00:24 So we're organizing a TikTok short film competition

00:26 that celebrates creativity with movies

00:29 that are longer than one minute.

00:31 They have to be original, they have to be creative,

00:33 and it's a global competition.

00:34 So this year for the third edition,

00:36 we had 55 countries participating.

00:39 We received more than 75,000 videos from across the globe,

00:43 and all of these generated more than two billion views

00:45 on the platform, so that's a massive exposure

00:48 for our talents.

00:49 (upbeat music)

00:57 - I've always been inspired by film and cinema,

00:59 so I decided to bring that storytelling skill

01:02 into the work I was making for my clients,

01:04 and that's how it all began.

01:06 I think TikTok is important as a platform

01:08 because it gives opportunities for people

01:11 to showcase their skills to an audience

01:15 that is ready to receive it and connect with it.

01:18 And I feel like if you have any talent

01:21 that you wanna showcase,

01:22 then TikTok is the place to be

01:23 because people are watching

01:25 and they're ready to have you on board.
