"The Gift" is a 5-minute short film directed by Carl Erik Rinsch in 2010, created for the "Parallel Lines" advertising campaign by Philips, promoting some of their televisions. Unfortunately, Philips has removed their own website for the campaign and Wikipedia does not yet have a page for it. Therefore, I thought it would be prudent to assemble some information (current as of November 2011) and links regarding both Mr. Rinsch and the campaign for which "The Gift" was created.
