YDA 2010: Megaforce

With their surreal, fluid Orange commercials, French directing collective Megaforce took second prize in the European Broadcast at this year’s Young Director Award. We caught up with Megaforce to find out what they did in their summer holidays and where they hope to be in 20 years (clue: involves fish…)

What was the inspiration behind your winning piece?
