Here they are, the creators behind the best fashion films of 2013/2014 who have been nominated for the distinction of best director at the La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival, which starts July 24th. We've already presented two blogs introducing the Best Film and Cinematography categories and if you did see those, there are some below that have been nominated multiple times.
Judging this category was a tremendous challenge as were the others. Picking a single winner took many hours and reviews, and I still would like to see multiple Directors take the stage when the envelope is opened. As in sports, we don't believe in ties, what fun is that, one winner will emerge, and I picked ........... ..... (fat chance!)The directors continue to up their game in every aspect of story, production and casting and I thank them for delivering spot on this year.
Also a special thanks to Fred Sweet and his team who go through 100's of films to get to this list below. You save us a hell of a lot of work and present the best of the best.
