ASIA-PACIFIC – BANGKOK, THAILAND, FEBRUARY 2011 – Will it be an intercontinental slugfest or a cross-cultural celebration? François Chilot, production extraordinaire, globetrotter and founder of Parisian production house Les Producers will compare the young directors of Asia Pacific with those from America and Europe on March 18 at the ADFEST Production Seminars.
“In my Seminar, I will compare young directors’ execution in terms of cinematography, sound and effects and, finally, the desired reaction among the public such as thought, shock, joy or laughter,” says Chilot.
Chilot began his career at TBWA before setting up Les Producers in 1984. He believes humor is the best elixir for an everlasting life, which is why Les Producers is especially famous for its comedy films.
For the past 10 years, François Chilot has been President of the CFP-E (Commercial Film Producers of Europe), which represents advertising film producers from 16 European countries. CFP-E also runs the YDA (Young Director Award) at Cannes, which is proudly supported by ADFEST, which submits its Fabulous Four directors to compete at YDA in Cannes every year.
Chilot will also be a jury on the ADFEST 2011 Film Craft Lotus & New Director Lotus panel.
