Pip Smart.
Pip Smart, executive producer and partner at Australian production company Revolver, has been appointed jury president of Film Craft at this year’s Cannes Lions.
She is widely regarded for championing directors and elevating production standards across APAC and beyond.
“To be invited by Cannes Lions to chair the Film Craft Jury is an enormous honour,” she said.
“To sit in room with a carefully curated jury of peers as they see and debate work that truly represents the best in the world is something I’m proud to do, and an opportunity I don’t take lightly.
“I’m continually inspired by the dedication and commitment to craft of our industry, and I feel it's never been more important to celebrate it.”
