Kudos To New Filmmakers Jonny Gentry, Monty Marsh And Ven Gia

Filmmakers and Bootcamp alumni Jonny Gentry and Monty Marsh are both in the Shoot New Directors Showcase. (Apologies that I just literally found out about Monty’s inclusion right after recording this.) And our fab filmmaking slash listener from Australia, Ven Gia, knocked it out the park with his inaugural spot for Corowa Distilling Company. Check it out below.

The Fascinating Journey Of Director Jeannette Godoy.

jeannettegodoy2014

How the multi-talented Jeannette Godoy came to spot directing is quite a fascinating tale. She’s worked on set as a choreographer, a wardrobe stylist, a production designer and even a dialect coach. Then she turned her talents to directing, and was shortlisted at Cannes and plucked for Shoot Magazine’s New Director Showcase for her very first spot. Jeannette brings a warmth and humanity to her work that takes even seasoned directors years to convey.

We talk about how to break into the business, as well as the challenges of being a female in a male-dominated field. And of course we discuss her award-winning documentary, “Free 2 Be Me”, about young dancers with Down Syndrome. It’s a 30 minute film you can watch for free, by clicking the title.

Here’s here Bridgestone commercial that started it all:
