Lost Highway Films Signs New Director with Elegant Edge
Lost Highway Films has signed Amy Demas to their roster of talented directors. Executive Producer Marc Rosenberg says he “was impressed by Amy’s smart and incisive creative approach. Amy’s work combines a sense of fun with her clever and intuitive advertising skills. She’s a great collaborator and undoubtedly loves what she does.”
After earning her BFA at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, Amy began her career as an Art Director at the rebellious and groundbreaking Sassy magazine. She then went on to help launch Jane magazine, followed by a complete creative reboot of the iconic teen title YM, where she won numerous awards for her work and leadership.
Amy’s many accolades as a Creative Director brought her to Peterson, Milla, Hooks, where she created integrated TV and print campaigns for Target, including many of their designer collections, such as Proenza Schouler, Fiorucci, Isaac Mizrahi and Behnaz Saraphour. Rosenberg added that “Amy’s creative legacy was founded in cool magazine design that continues to grow and expand through vivid, live action directing.”
Amy’s love of fashion, beauty, retail and brand marketing led her to directing. While leading the creative for clients such as Stila Cosmetics, DC Shoes and CVS/pharmacy, Amy subsequently began directing spots and content for these clients. Her earlier life as a Creative Director is something that Lost Highway is excited about. “Amy’s rich agency background in both print and TV clearly set the table for a bounty of fresh and imaginative work.” Marc explains.
Today, she brings her unique creative experience and keen eye for style to every project. “Amy is one of those rare directors whose flair for design, art direction and lifestyle inspire a fresh perspective to every project she touches.” says Rosenberg. Lost Highway looks forward to exploring new opportunities with her.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
