ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AWARDS RESULTS
We are so proud that this year’s AD-Awards included 3 winning teams from the ADU. This means we were more than well represented at the first international ADAs and couldn’t be prouder of our members. We won “gold” and “bronze” in the FEATURE category and “silver” in the SERIES category. We congratulate the AD-teams from “All Quiet On The Western Front” (Feature, Gold), “Tar” (Feature, Bronze) and “1899” (Series, Silver)!
