The New Director Lotus awards up-and-coming new directors to give them exposure to the creative community and help launch their directorial careers. ADFEST’s Fabulous Five program is one of the world’s most respected platforms for kick-starting the careers of commercial directors. From a total of 26 scripts submitted from across six cities, there were five up-and-coming Directors who were invited to direct five-minute short films inspired by the theme of ADFEST 2025, COLLiDE. The Directors brought the scripts to life to premiere their short films and their inspirations behind them.
