Academy Award winners work with Graf von Faber-Castell products
Everybody’s talking about the film Milk – at any rate since this year’s Oscar presentations. The portrait of the tragic ‘gay rights’ activist Harvey Milk won two of these coveted awards: one went to Sean Penn as the best leading actor, the other to Dustin Lance Black for the best original screenplay. The film, directed by Gus van Sant, had been nominated for no fewer than eight Academy awards.
Especially in creative occupations such as scriptwriter or film director, writing implements play an important role in putting one’s inspirations to paper. More and more well-known people lay store by high-quality products, whether a fountain pen or just a pencil. The elegant Graf von Faber-Castell Collection achieved in a short period of time what few other luxury products have managed to: it conquered the hearts of connoisseurs and celebrities all over the world, with its unmistakable design and simple elegance. So it’s not surprising that Gus van Sant and Dustin Lance Black also work with pens and pencils of the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection.

The Perfect Pencil: a constant companion of creative people
Van Sant owns a Perfect Pencil. That puts him in the ever-growing group of aficionados of this product that includes actors and actresses such as Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, and Neve Campbell. The Perfect Pencil is a luxury version of a familiar everyday item, with a platinum-plated extender and built-in eraser and sharpener. It is ideal when travelling, always at the ready and sharpened in a trice, when creative thoughts need to be written down. With such a practical and inspiring writing implement to hand, it seems certain that many more Oscar-winning film scripts will come into being.
