jury
meet the jury for straight 8 2024!
first up… a growing team of pre-screeners now helps us to assess all your films with a very robust and diligent traffic light system. each film is seen, scored and commented on by at least two people, and no-one sees everything. all the people who pre-screen for straight 8 fit two criteria: they’ve made a gr8 straight 8 in the past, they haven’t entered this year!
our profound thanks for the 200ish 2024 films goes to:
ben walden // candice rose // carlotta beck peccoz // gillian harker // jack scott // jake kuhn // jeff zorilla // karan talwar // sam brewster // sam hartshorn // struan clay // tom merilion // will cummock
and… this year here’s who is debating the top 8. to find out more about everyone, click on their image or wiggle your mouse about!
huge thanks go to all these seasoned straight 8 jury members for coming back and being so cool in how carefully they look at, and get into friendly tussles over, your work! not all the regulars can always make it as things come up, which is why you see comings and goings over the years. this year all jury members had to have a first name beginning with J or R
