NEW DIRECTORS LIST
The New Directors List is an ongoing curation of the best video submissions to Shiny
It’s limited to @400 recommendations to keep the List fresh - every 2 weeks we add new videos & director details, and take off older entries
You can search the List using any of the 70+ tags listed below. If you’re looking for an exciting female director with lived-experience to pitch for a disabled charity video in Germany, we can almost certainly help
You also get each directors’ contact details, links to recent work, their website & their instagram
The List is in spreadsheet format, meaning members can copy and paste selections - or the whole list! - into their own spreadsheets
