AWARDS FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR
TOUGH LOVE A stunning doc about long-distance runner Jenny Tough has stood out
T he launch of the Pro Moviemaker Filmmaker of the Year Awards has caused major waves in the industry, with creative filmmakers rushing to enter, and the wider community sitting up and taking notice of what’s going on. Our mission is to shine a light on the heroes of the filmmaking world who create stunning work enjoyed by millions. It’s not for big-budget TV and film crews, but for commercial and emerging creatives. The awards are focused on excellence in the creation of content, in commercial categories including documentaries, promotional films, music videos, marketing, event coverage, sports, weddings, social media and YouTube. We aim to honour the hard-working image makers who might not have huge budgets, but still go to extreme lengths to create original and innovative content. If you’re an established working filmmaker – or only just starting out on the ladder of making seriously good video content – these are for you. And winning an award will give you a marketing edge that could make a real difference. The awards will be judged by a panel of esteemed experts. They are open now, but will close on 30 May. Pick a category – or categories – that most suits your work and let the world see what you’ve been up to. Entering couldn’t be easier. Email adamduckworth@bright-publishing.com with the subject ‘Filmmaker of the Year’. Include a link to the video, on YouTube or Vimeo for example, plus the password if it’s protected. Or send a link to download your film from a file-sharing service. In your email, tell us the category or categories you want to enter your film for, what your role was on the film and who the client was (if it was a paid-for project). It’s helpful if entrants write a paragraph or two, giving some context – challenges faced, success the film may have had. So, check out the categories and some of the entries so far – and get stuck in. Good luck!
Time to get moving, as the entries for our Filmmaker of the Year are flooding in!
