Every year VIEWFINDERS FRAMES polls studio executives, producers and creatives for their top 10 short films, commercials and/or music videos from that year. We release the list at the end of every year.
Viewfinder Frames: shifts through an endless stream of videos that are submitted or found online to bring you the best and most current short films, music videos, and/or commercials that should matter to our industry and serve as inspiration for other directors. While the annual Viewfinder List is the collective voice of the industry, Viewfinder Frames is curated by us and updated as often as quality content presents itself.
