The filmmakers from U.S. creative production company Shilo are very proud to announce the addition of Anthony Furlong to their staff in the position of creative director and director.
Over the past seven years, Anthony has become one of the commercial and short-form film industries’ most experienced and accomplished young directors. Building on staff and freelance art director and designer positions with virtually every major creative production entity in Los Angeles and New York, the Art Center College of Design graduate has been a director for 1stAveMachine and Stink, and he was the director and creative director for the Poetica collective through earlier this year. A true visual storyteller adept in live-action, integrated VFX commercials and music videos, documentary and lifestyle films and design-oriented animation projects, his commercial credits include spots for Cisco, Ikea, Nokia, and Shell, among many others. He also directed the acclaimed short-film “Poetica,” and most recently, he has directed music videos for DeLooze (“Lost Army“) and Lorenzo Digrasso (“Finally”).

“In my mind, Shilo is one of the only collectives that has a long history of being able to combine live-action and animation flawlessly, telling stories that are both emotionally engaging as well as visually beautiful,” Anthony said. “As an artist and a director, I’m thrilled to begin working with such a great team where I can bring all of my varied talents to the table in full force.”
“We are always on the lookout for talent, and we have been fans of Anthony for quite a while,” explained Jose Gomez, Shilo’s owner and director. “When the time came for us to expand our creative team, I was quick to reach out to him. He brings a great aesthetic that compliments and extends our expertise in design-infused storytelling through animation, live-action and visual effects.”

“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
