“Shiny is so impactful. Seeing that spark in the eyes of emerging directors makes it all worthwhile.”
Matthieu Chardon - Head & Creative Lead, Bolt! Studios
”I'm delighted to have been selected for the Shiny Irish Showcase. I take great pride in my work being showcased alongside so many other amazing pieces, and it was also awesome to hear feedback from the judges.
Being selected definitely generated attention for both the piece I created, and also myself as a filmmaker. Posting online that I had been selected garnered some attention to the piece. Other contacts of mine also have now scheduled calls and meetings to catch up on the recent work I've been creating; which I believe has been aided from posting about the award.
At the event, I also networked and connected with producers, as well as other filmmakers. I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with them and seeing if we can link up in the future!”
John Reavy - Director
The Shiny Awards gave my work a great platform and connected me with inspiring filmmakers. I’d recommend it to any aspiring director looking to reach a wider audience and connect with others in the industry.
Donnagh Fitzpatrick - Director
Great to see Shiny land in Dublin with such amazing purpose. The standard of work, the openness of conversation, and the energy in the room made it one to remember. Grateful to have been part of the panel, brilliant insights all round from some seriously sharp minds. Here’s to many more!
