Simon & Paul Partners with YDA 2024 to Support Rising Filmmaking Talent

We are excited to announce Simon & Paul as our Prime sponsor for the Young Directors Award 2024, highlighting their dedication to nurturing and promoting emerging filmmakers globally.

Despite being an up-and-coming company in the industry, Simon & Paul has quickly garnered a strong reputation for its craft-driven, high-quality, and creative approach. They integrate a DIY mentality with a broad client base, evidenced by their collaboration with both German and international agencies on award-winning campaigns for prestigious brands such as The Coca-Cola Company, Google, BMW, and Vodafone.

Tobias Paul, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Simon & Paul, shared his excitement about the partnership:


“As a relatively young production company, we are excited to sponsor the Young Directors Award as it is in line with our company philosophy of bringing the best young talent to our markets.”

It is through the support of dedicated partners like Simon & Paul that we can maintain YDA as a pivotal platform for emerging talent.
