Nice Shirt announces that director Emilio Gamal Boutros has picked up an ADCAN award hot on the heels of him joining the Nice Shirt New Talent roster.
ADCAN is an international competition which invites up and coming filmmakers to create and submit a completed commercial for a live charity brief. Emilio's film, for US charity United We Dream, highlights the unfair treatment of many undocumented immigrants under the Trump administration. It’s a hard-hitting concept, and fabulously well realised, especially given the production restrictions of having to cast and shoot in the UK. Emilio came up with the idea, wrote and directed the film in the space of month, ably produced by Jack Cain (another member of the Nice Shirt team).
