CRAFT MENTION (DIRECTION)
Rand Merchant Bank ‘Talent Loves Company’
The Star Film Company | Tristan Holmes

Awarded by Thina Zibi

Judge’s comment: ‘Tristan Holmes’ “Talent Loves Company” for RMB is a beautiful cinematic brand storytelling. The choice to live entirely in the character’s point of view is brilliantly intimate, we don’t just observe his journey, we inhabit it. The pacing is impeccable, with each cut and beat thoughtfully measured to carry both emotion and momentum. The music is a great choice. it walks that fine line between heart and edge, giving the piece a pulse that feels alive and modern. A perfect blend of craft and story that makes you feel, not just watch.’ –  Thina Zibi, Independent Director
