We’re proud to welcome back Stink as a Prime Sponsor of the Young Director Award 2025, continuing a trusted and long-standing partnership grounded in a shared commitment to nurturing emerging talent.
For over two decades, Stink has earned its place as a powerhouse in visually compelling and creatively ambitious production. With deep-rooted collaborations across top global agencies and brands, the company continues to shape the future of visual storytelling. The company’s commitment to innovation and excellence, combined with a strong culture of creative support, has made Stink a home for a diverse and growing roster of international talent.
Daniel Bergmann, Founder and President of Stink, commented on the partnership:
“YDA is completely unique in its focus on young talent. It’s not a side category, but as the main event. A platform built with so much care, respect, and purpose, offering emerging directors not just visibility, but a real boost in confidence and career momentum. No other show does it this way. And it’s absolutely essential for our industry that we continue to support it.”
This year, we’re also pleased to welcome Klara Kralickova, Managing Director of Stink Prague, to the YDA 2025 jury. Her expertise and deep passion for film make her a valuable voice in helping shape this year’s final lineup of winners.
Stink’s continued support plays a vital role in helping YDA grow and pursue its mission: empowering the next generation of filmmakers and spotlighting new creative voices across the global industry. We’re deeply grateful for their enduring partnership.
