Testimonials

“Directing isn’t just about brilliance, it’s about making people smile, think, and remember you long after the lights go down. We are so proud to support the Shiny Awards, where fresh talent gets the spotlight and new stories get their chance to shine. May the Shiny Awards continue to grow and flourish!”
Julia Weichinger, GPN / Directors Without Borders

“Abroad Films is proud to sponsor the Shiny Awards. We believe in championing fresh voices, bringing diversity to the forefront, and helping unlock the full creative potential of underrepresented directors. Shiny’s work—giving new talent routes into commercial production and celebrating directors who often go unseen—aligns deeply with our values. By supporting Shiny, we’re investing in the future of storytelling, amplifying trust in diversity, and helping build a richer, more inclusive film and advertising landscape.”
Attila Horvath / Abroad Films

“I was thrilled to be asked to judge the Shiny Awards and blown away by the talent and craft on display. It made our jobs on the panel extremely tough as there were so many deserving winners!”

”This was my second film, and my second shiny. While retiring with a 100 hit rate sounds tempting, I think it’s also a sign that maybe I should keep going.”
Jan Sederlöf, Director

“Shiny is an invaluable advocate for underrepresented directors, and I am deeply inspired by their work. It is an honour to be chosen as a Shiny winner.
