Yes, any works that are co-directed can be entered in the SHOOT New Directors Search. Many duos and teams have been selected over the years. Just keep in mind that all co-directors must be directing professionally less than 3 years. If one qualifies and the other doesn’t, they cannot enter.

I’ve been a Producer and Story Producer on reality-based programming for years. However, the projects I’ve done in the past 2-3 years have been wearing both hats – Producing and Directing. Would my prior work Producing disqualify me?

The only thing that matters is you weren’t a professional “Director” farther back than 3 years from annual search year. Remember […]
