Directors receive enormous career-buildng exposure!
"The SHOOT New Directors Showcase offers so much more than just validation of directorial talent. I met some incredible industry professionals...the whole place is buzzing, the work is so inspiring, and you walk away feeling like a major milestone has been reached. What surprised me the most was the variety of directors--male, female, international, American, young, and old. The same goes for the work. I can't think of another showcase reel that can match its broad range in cinematography, subject matter, and tone."
Martin Rodahl, 2012 New Director, 71 Degrees North
"Being included in the SHOOT New Director Showcase was absolutely brilliant for me, as it tempted the smart people I did not know, but desperately wanted to see my film, into watching it! As a result, I met the guys at Interrogate and Spy Films. It quite literally started a commercial career for me, and that's the straight truth."
Elizabeth Orne, 2011 New Directors Showcase, Spy Films
"Being included in SHOOT Magazine's New Directors Showcase was quite an honor! It gave me great exposure, opened a lot of doors and eventually lead me to a home with kaboom."
Matt Fackrell, 2011 New Directors Showcase, Kaboom
"It was quite an honor to be selected to participate in the 2010 SHOOT New Directors Showcase. I am especially humbled to join the ranks of the super creative and innovative directors with whom I share this special honor. Being selected for the showcase affirmed for me the value of my determined effort to create work that's not just "good enough", but better than anyone imagined. Thanks for the shot in the arm, SHOOT!
Varda Hardy, 2010 New Directors Showcase, LiveTribe Productions
"To be a selected director meant that the industry saw my work as
significantly cutting edge. It gave me a huge 'yes' nod to let me know I've
been doing the right thing. For directors who believe they have a new voice
to be heard, SHOOT's Showcase is it!"
Ezra J. Stanley, 2010 New Directors Showcase, Salter Entertainment Group
"Being included in SHOOT's New Diretors Showcase is one of those great touchstones. Besides the breadth of industry exposure only SHOOT can provide, it provides a very real increase in offers for work as well as the validation that you're doing something right. I will always count it as a big moment in my career."
Kevin Kerwin, 2009 New Directors Showcase, Authentic Films
"There are many wonderful phone calls one can receive in life. But I have to say, few feel as good as, 'Hello, you've just been included in SHOOT's New Directors Showcase.' Like the chicken and the egg, I'm still not sure which came first: getting to direct good scripts or getting into SHOOT's New Directors Showcase."
Harold Einstein, 2008 New Directors Showcase, Station Film
"As directors, we are continually inspired by the imagination of our peers. SHOOT Magazine does a fantastic job of filling our brains with the most exciting, creative ideas of the day and it's New Director's Showcase is no exception. We were thrilled and honored to be included in such a highly talented event. It was almost like telling our Grandmother we had won an academy award... or two."
Jason & Matt Docter, DOCTER TWINS, 2008 New Directors Showcase,
"I have read SHOOT for many years, and being included in the 2007 New Director's Showcase was truly an honor. SHOOT consistently has an eye out for fresh and exciting new talent, and this Showcase does not disappoint. This is one of the finest new talent presentations in our business."
Nir Bashan, 2007 New Directors Showcase
"It was an honor to be recognized in SHOOT's 2007 New Directors Showcase. As a new director in such a competitive market, you need all the street cred you get since there's just over 150 million directors in the U.S. alone."
Rob Luehrs, 2007 New Directors Showcase, Nola Pictures
"I was honored to be to be included with other new directors in the 2005 showcase. It's always invigorating to see new work and exchange ideas. The showcase is an ideal opportunity for new directors, industry leaders and agency producers to come together for the first time.
Harry Cocciolo, 2005 New Directors Showcase, Bob Industries
Indeed SHOOT's New Directors Showcase has identified many leading artisans over the years, including one who went on to earn a DGA Award nomination as best commercial director of the year, and assorted others who have won industry accolades, including Gold Lions at Cannes as well as AICP Show honors.
Most importantly, Showcase inclusion has helped numerous directors gain production house affiliations. From our 2011 crop of directors, for example, Elizabeth Orne signed with Interrogate and Matt Fackrell came aboard the roster of kaboom productions.
See the directors' work that was chosen for last years showcase event on SHOOT's 2012 New Directors Web Reel. The helmers selected for the Showcase come from diverse backgrounds. Some first established themselves on the agency side of the business, while others were DPs, feature filmmakers or film students. One bond the directors share is great style and vision, whether it be reflected in comedy, visuals or storytelling.
In the 2012 New Directors Web Reel, each director reveals how he or she got into the business, as well as his or her aspirations. Included are credits for the work that was screened in May 2012 during SHOOT's 10th Anuual New Directors Showcase event at the DGA Theatre in NYC.
