National, May 05, 2017
In a diverse nation like ours, young talent in filmmaking is flourishing every day. Yet unfortunately a lot of it remains untapped and unexplored. What we need is the right platform, which can serve as a launch pad for this amazing talent.
Inspired by the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase, which has become a highlight of the Cannes International Festival of Creativity, Kyoorius Creative Awards, in association with Famous Innovations, presents the first Indian New Directors’ Showcase. The showcase is open to all budding filmmakers and will be judged by a distinguished jury that includes renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapoor, Cannes-winning ad-film Director Prasoon Pandey, “Dangal”-director Nitesh Tiwari and UK-based Director Ed Morris.
Rajesh Kejriwal, Founder & CEO, Kyoorius Group, said, "Our goal is to support emerging directors by highlighting the very best new creative talent and giving them a stepping stone to grow. We believe this will add tremendous value to our industry as everyone from agencies to clients is always looking for fresh talent."
Raj Kamble, Founder & CCO, Famous Innovations, added, "Good Directors play such an important role in advertising. They have the power to take any creative idea to another level. If we can nurture just 10 promising Directors every year, imagine the influx of new perspectives and skills we are inviting into the industry. It’s a truly exciting road ahead.”
The jury will choose 10 directors whose work will be highlighted and showcased at the Kyoorius Creative Awards 2017. Showreels of the selected Directors will also be sent to leading professionals in Advertising and Film Production.
The deadline for entries is 15th May 2017. More details can be found on thenewdirectorsshowcase.in
