Directors’ Showcase 2015 – How to Enter
1. Eligibility
The Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase is open to directors of
all film formats and styles.
However,
please note that directors are not eligible for consideration if they directed
any film ‘specifically made for advertising purposes' before June 2013. They
may have directed all other formats for longer.
The term 'specifically made for advertising purposes' is defined as any
moving image commissioned with either production or media funded by an
advertiser.
By submitting their work, directors are confirming their eligibility.
2. Selection Process
The Saatchi & Saatchi Network of
130 offices in 70 countries is responsible for finding the best new directors.
The heads of broadcast production and creative directors are constantly
trawling for new talent.
We also have relationships with key internet sites to
identify candidates.
We usually have some 500 directors to review as part of the selection process.
From all this material, a shortlist is compiled and the final selection for the
reel is made by the Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide Creative Board.
3. Selection Criteria
The Worldwide Creative Board makes its decisions based on the following criteria:
- The ability of the director to execute an idea on screen
- An innovative technique or style
- Outstanding directorial skill
