Become a Sponsor or Supporter of the 2022 20th Annual SHOOT New Directors Showcase!

Whether you’ll be first-time Sponsor or have joined us in the past we look forward to welcoming you this year.  The 2022 event will take place at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) on Thursday, November 17th; it will be our 16th year at this great venue, with the DGA as one of our Lead Sponsors. Due to the pandemic, we were not able to hold the in-person event in 2020 or 2021 so in addition to the “NDS Class of 2022” attending this year’s event, we’ll be inviting the directors from the 2020 and 2021 New Directors Showcase to also attend!  The SHOOT New Directors Showcase Event is an important face-to-face extension of SHOOT Magazine and SHOOTonline’s ongoing mission to provide vital news and information about the creation, production & postproduction of commercial, branded content, movie & television content, to search out new talent, new work and new technology necessary to its readers across all segments of the advertising & entertainment industries – AND TO – serve as a conduit between ad agencies, brands, entertainment cos, production & post cos/services & technology providers to help them come together as part of one community —opening doors to create new work, new business, new opportunities, and new partnerships.  While we do this all year long online and in print, it’s a great pleasure every year to be able to facilitate the same things face to face.  One of the event’s very special features is that we don’t charge qualified industry executives. artisans and up-and-coming directors to attend!  SHOOT and our Sponsors incur all the charges for the event.  Since our Sponsors make this annual event possible, we provide an enormous amount of industry exposure & promotion value for them starting two months before, during and for a full year after the event.
