Overview:

The 20 directors were invited on the premise that they create for themselves and not for any commercial purpose. All work remains under the complete ownership of the directors. The result was a diverse offerings of films, aired first at the PromaxBDA conference in New York as an eclectic mix of narrative and design, with a wide range of tonality from the whimsical, to the serious, to absurd. The content then launched online with views and responses from around the world.

Staying true to the ideals of creativity and innovation, with a theme of “Truth vs. Deception”, the directors came together to create a ground-breaking collection of short films that use live-action, effects, animation, comedy, action and verité. Twenty 120 remains dedicated to the definition of creative – an original product of human invention or artistic imagination – by celebrating the work of artists around the world.
