JUDGES COMMENT
“With BIC, ‘Chef’, it would have been very easy to chase something like The Bear. Go frenetic. Long lenses. Constant pressure. That language is right there for the taking.

Instead, Josh and the team pulled back and employed restraint.

The piece feels cared for. You can feel the hands on it. It’s naturalistic. Tactile.”
