SHOOT® Magazine, the leading publication for commercial and entertainment production, has extended the closing dates for the Spring 2010 “Directors” Special Issue. This, semi-annual, high-visibility issue will publish on Friday, March 19, 2010. Details at www.SHOOTonline.com/go/directorsissue.
Continuing a 50-year tradition, the March 2010 SHOOT “Directors” Issue will provide advertising agency, commercial and entertainment production industry readers with profiles of leading directors and cinematographers, along with introduction to up-and-coming talent. Plus, many other news and feature elements, and event bonus distribution. The Issue’s final advertising deadline for Ad Material is Monday, March 15, 2010.
Offering a snapshot in time with lasting influence and impact for the past 50 years, SHOOT Magazine’s “Directors Issues” have been the talk of the industry when first published and are referred to long after the issue date. They capture the leading directors of the time with detailed profiles, while also pinpointing new, up-and-coming directorial talent who bear watching.
The profiles are turned to for shedding light on the approaches, experiences and filmmaking philosophies of the industry’s most notable directors. The rundown of emerging directors identifies star talent in the making, chronicling how they broke into the business and made their initial impact. There’s a track record over the years of several up-and-coming helmers featured in our Directors Issues going on to earn inclusion in SHOOT’s New Directors Showcase at the DGA Theatre, and then successfully establishing their filmmaking careers.
For the latest on the directorial food chain–from the newcomers to the well established stars–the industry has turned for a half century to SHOOT’s Directors editions. Many things have changed in production since SHOOT first came on the scene. Evolving over the years, SHOOT reports on all forms of advertising and entertainment production for TV, Broadband, Cinema and Gaming. Throughout all the industry changes, one constant has been SHOOT’s semi-annual March and October “Directors” issues.
Continuing the tradition, while always adding new elements, here’s what’s coming up on March 19 in SHOOT Magazine’s Directors Issue — click on Directors Issue to see full line-up of the talented directors and cinematographers being profiled and interviewed for the issue
