Juror member and Writer and Director Sarah Clift commented: “I’m really impressed by the level of nominated work in this year’s Shark Awards, and the short film and craft sections in particular. When it comes to making short films, it’s no easy task, and particularly with very limited budgets; but the selected work is a fantastic reminder of why it’s all really worth the sweat and the tears. So therefore, a big well done to everyone involved in making short films and content, and a huge congratulations to all of the nominees.”
In addition to Sarah, the jury consisted of Jen Speirs (ECD Rothco), Des Creedon (ECD TBWA Dublin), Michael Creagh (writer/director), Siobhan Murphy (EP & MD Merman), Polly du Plessis (EP), Charles Crisp (Head of Production T&Partnership) and Sarah Leccacorvi (Head of Content Havas Entertainment).
