    We’re keeping company affiliations and selected work under wraps until the May/June Issue is published – PDF version to go live on 5/18 and print issue to be out the week of May 21.  In broad strokes, this year’s NDS Class of 2018 is made up of a fantastically diverse group of directors including 14  women and 20 men.  17 of the directors are unaffiliated and the work is a great mix of spots, branded content, spec work, music videos, TV, short films & features.  The Showcase includes recent film school grads, agency creatives and experienced cinematographers and editors who are making the transition to director.   This mix of work on the SHOOT New Directors Showcase Reel is a reflection of the industry at large–as is SHOOT itself as exemplified in our multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary, multi-platform coverage, perhaps most notably our Directors Issues in which  profiles of feature, TV and commercial directors reside side by side.

    As embodied in our coverage and underscoring the relevance of our NDS competition and event, SHOOT’s mission is to connect the worlds of advertising and entertainment while also bringing content creators together with the collaborators who hire them.

    The SHOOT's New Directors Showcase mico-site will go live on May 25th where the industry will be able to view the NDS Reel along with individual profile pages on each director with headshot, video of selected work, additional Q&As, and contact information.  The NDS Reel & NDS Profiles will be availabe on May 25 to view here: http://nds.shootonline.com
