May 2019: Big Things Brewin’

 


Change is in the air, and we couldn’t be more excited!

In preparation for a very big announcement coming in June, this edition of our Here’s The Work newsletter will be the last monthly roundup of Free The Bid work until early September!

Don’t worry, fam – we’ll still be on the lookout for all of the incredible ads, branded content films, shorts and music videos directed by the filmmakers in our database all summer long. Please keep us posted with all of your latest and greatest projects!

This month, one member of our Free The Bid fam shared some incredible news with us – check out these tweets from director Emily Sheskin!


There’s nothing we like hearing more than your stories of how your Free The Bid profiles helped your work to be seen, your voice to be shared, and most importantly, how they’ve helped to GET YOU HIRED!

This month’s newsletter includes a section on signings, tracking the women in our database who have joined new production companies in April and May!

So dig in, scroll through, and gear up for all the exciting developments to come!

 

What is “Here’s The Work”?

This newsletter represents a curated selection of the commercials, branded contentshort films, and music videos that were directed by the talented directors in Free The Bid’s global database and released this month!

As always, don’t forget that the filmmakers on our database have also been hard at work on feature films, documentaries, episodic TV, webseries, innovation projects, and even more!

Bear in mind, too, that while this list showcases the work of Free The Bid directors, our site also is a one-stop shop for discovering editorscoloristscomposers and DOPs. A commitment to freeing the bid doesn’t just stop at hiring a woman director – enrich your crews with women across production roles!

 

 

 

The following examples of commercials, branded content, short films, and music videos were directed by directors from our database and released in May 2019.

Remember – this is a curated selection of the work released in May.

As mentioned, this is our last Here’s The Work newsletter until early September, when we’ll round up the work released over the summer. We know, we know – we’ll miss you too! Keep sending us your work to get in on the fun once our hiatus is over!
