Saatchi & Saatchi Shanghai ECD Fan Ng explained “I think the 17 Directors chosen for this year’s Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase shown in Cannes are all fantastic. I selected the 11 Directors for the reel that will be shown at the ROI Festival in Shanghai, because I think a Chinese audience will understand their style and narrative. I hope this reel will inspire the creative community in China, and encourage more Chinese and Asian directing talent to submit their work for the next New Directors’ Showcase.”
