Somesuch shoots straight in to the number one spot in the overall 30 this year. That’s on the back of a fantastically creative 12 months. Somesuch picks out Daniel Wolfe’s work, saying the director “made history” with #bloodnormal for Libresse that showed “realistic period blood for the first time.” There were big ads from Aoife McArdle too, including her Audi spot, the only ad from a female director in the Superbowl.
Kim Gehrig brought back This Girl Can with Phenomenal Woman, and helmed “a faultless continuous shot for Uber’s Effortless Night.” Somesuch signed its 10th female director with Lynne Ramsay, known for We Need to Talk About Kevin. The company won its first BAFTA with short film Home and is in production on three long-form docs for fashion platform M2M and in development with BBC Films on a feature length production.
