Best Work of 2018

The Best of SHOOT's The Best Work You May Never See gallery in 2018 includes a pair of entries from BBDO New York--Cure Alzheimer’s Fund’s “Daughter and Mother” which took the #1 slot, and Day One’s Sunshine short which came in at #4.

The other three top 5 finishers are from up-and-coming directors. In the #2 slot is Maya Albanese’s Georgia-Pacific spec spot, “History.” Right behind it is a Centre for Addiction and Mental Health PSA helmed by Caitlin Cronenberg. And rounding out the fab 5 is Matteo J. Mostert’s offbeat short, Literally.

Take a gander at the year's Best of The Best Work You May Never See.
