La Pac Returns as Prime Sponsor of YDA 2025, Championing the Future of Filmmaking

We are honored to welcome back La Pac as a Prime Sponsor of the Young Director Award 2025, continuing their unwavering support of the next generation of filmmaking talent.
 
What sets La Pac apart is its dynamic ecosystem of six affiliated companies — La Pac, 2001, C41, VERY/CONTENT, LE PAC, and PAC Story — each focused on different areas of creative production. This structure gives emerging directors the opportunity to work across a broad spectrum of formats, from fashion and music to documentary and branded content, all while honing their craft within a highly supportive and innovative environment.
 


Jerome Denis, CEO of La Pac, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating:

“With smartphones, software, and now AI, filmmaking is more accessible than ever — but accessibility isn’t the same as talent. As producers, we have a duty to support true cinematic talent, or we risk losing the next generation of great filmmakers — the very asset our industry depends on. And YDA is the place where the future of filmmaking is being written.”

We are deeply grateful for La Pac’s continued partnership, which plays a vital role in helping YDA champion bold storytelling and launch the careers of tomorrow’s visionary directors.
