NOMINATIONS  /

WINS


Directors don't make movies.  We're like crowdsurfing sloths, borne to any achievement entirely by our collaborators. Everything you see and hear is created, captured and crafted by them - while we just coax and curate. But since directors tend to collect the prizes, it falls to us each time to remind the world who really made the film.

It's been a privilege to work with the amazing folk who made the movies that won these accolades.
