New York Festivals International Advertising Awards has added a new category, Film Craft. The inaugural Executive Jury panel devoted to judging Film Craft will assemble in New York City on April 8 during the week of the Executive Jury judging sessions.
The new jury, made up of 10 of the world’s top film industry experts, will be chaired by highly awarded creative and technical special effects influencer, Angus Kneale, chief creative officer of The Mill.
“The announcement of NYF’s Film Craft Executive Jury, and the appointment of a jury chairman the calibre of Angus Kneale, insures that entries into the Film Craft competition will be evaluated according to the quality of the execution and based on the discerning standards of some of the most creative, technically advanced, and award-winning filmmakers that the industry has to offer,” stated Michael Demetriades, executive director of New York Festivals.
Kneale added, “The celebration of craft, creativity and innovation within our industry is so important. New York is a real hub of creativity within the advertising industry, and as a New Yorker for over 15 years now, I’m excited to be partnering with the team of judges at the New York Festivals International Advertising Awards to champion award winning film-makers across the globe.”
