    SHOOT’s 65th Anniversary Reflections: AICP President and CEO Matt Miller

    Friday, July 11, 2025

    As SHOOT celebrates a milestone, its 65th year of publication, we begin a series of interviews and features that will run throughout the summer on SHOOTonline and in SHOOT's newsletters and special PDF Issue with digital distribution in which industry executives, creatives and artists reflect on the changes they’ve seen over the decades, as well as essential dynamics that have endured. These folks--from different sectors of the business--will also share their visions and aspirations for the future.
