Great Guns’ Duncan Christie directs a powerful new campaign, ‘Family Monsters’, for the charity, Family Action. The film compellingly combines live-action and animation to create awareness of the breadth of family problems that the charity helps people to deal with.

Creatively devised by And Rising, the quietly gripping 90-second film shows families living with a physical manifestation of their problems: a dark and ever-present monster. These shadowy, animated beings observe silently as each family struggles with isolating issues such as post-natal depression, poverty, alcoholism, and communication breakdown.
