Moving forward in the right direction
One Screen is part of The One Club for Creativity, the foremost global non-profit organization celebrating creative excellence in advertising and design.
The fast-growing global festival focuses on all forms and aspects of short films — narrative fiction, comedy, passion projects, commercials, branded content, music videos, spec work, animation, sound, movie poster design, title sequences, etc. — 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.
“It’s fitting to present Regional awards for the first time because we received so much amazing work from around the world,” said Jonathan Jirjis, executive producer at The One Club and head of the One Screen program. “Global interest and participation in One Screen has grown sharply over the years, promoting us to recognize the best of the best by region.”
He added the body of work submitted illustrates the current mindset and voice of the greater global creative community.
“This year’s entries include provocative subject matter that prompts us to think about how we’re progressing as a people, and sparks conversation on how to keep us moving forward in the right direction,” said Jirjis.
Sponsors for the 2020 One Screen Short Film Festival included Tanteo Tequila and Brooklyn Brewery.
