Sydney-based CD Natalie Long Named to The One Club’s One Screen Short Film Festival Jury

Natalie Long, freelance creative director based in Sydney, is among the 65 leading film directors, producers, agency creatives and heads of production companies named to serve on the jury for the eighth-annual One Screen Short Film Festival, the premiere short film festival that celebrates and awards global filmmakers from both commercial advertising and film industries.

One Screen is part of The One Club for Creativity, the foremost global non-profit organisation celebrating creative excellence in advertising and design.  The complete list of the 65 One Screen jury members for this year can be viewed here.

The fast-growing global festival focuses on all forms and aspects of short films — narrative fiction, comedy, commercials, branded content, music videos, spec work, passion projects, animation, sound, movie poster design, title sequences and more  — and has a mission to celebrate and award filmmakers from around the world working in both the film and ad industries, with no limitation and total artistic freedom, all on one screen.

New regional awards

In addition to awarding work in specific genre categories, One Screen expands this year to also recognise creative excellence by region with best-of awards for Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, North America and Middle East-North Africa.  Last year’s festival saw a significant increase in global entries, with work submitted from 45 countries.

Says Jonathan Jirjis, executive producer at The One Club and head of the One Screen program: “As the world’s leading nonprofit organisation with the mission to support the global creative community, we’re well suited to recognise the best work in every region around the world. This festival is committed to celebrating and awarding great storytelling and film craft on a global level.”
