2009 All-Star Team
elcome to the 2009 EventDV 25,
a land where legends are
born and careers are made.
Or maybe it’s just a place where legends
and careers already established are
recognized, where the achievements
of the best and brightest in our industry
are simply given their due by their
peers—the folks who have felt the
impact of those achievements most
acutely and, thus, are in the best
position to recognize them and acclaim
the way they are shaping our industry.
If there’s one phrase that best
describes this industry over the 5 years
we’ve been doing these awards, it’s
shape-shifting. Call it what you will—
evolution, revolution, or just a constant
state of flux—but ours is certainly a
world where, over time, little remains
constant but change itself.
So it should come as no surprise
that in the event filmmaking world, as
elsewhere, fame can be fleeting; the
old “flavor of the month” tag can often
apply here, and Andy Warhol’s idea
of “15 minutes of fame” has become,
if anything, even more precarious in
these parts as the most celebrated films
in our industry get shorter and shorter.
What I’ve always liked about the
EventDV 25 is that you don’t need some
lofty pedigree to be recognized as one
of the 25 hottest and most influential
event filmmakers in the world; you don’t
even need a hall of fame-worthy body of
W
work. In many ways we’re an industry
built on peer education, peer review,
and peer recognition. And if what you’re
doing right now is making you stand out
from the crowd as first—or even 25th—
among your equals and inspiring your
peers to do what they do better, or with
more passion, profitability, and purpose,
you’re as qualified as anyone to make
this list.
Some all-stars may come and go;
others may seem to come out of nowhere
but make their impact felt quickly and
unmistakably. And then there are those
who crash the gates, make their mark,
and leave the impression that they’re
here for the long haul. All of this year’s
11 first-time all-stars, in one way or
another, fit that bill. Some of them aren’t
exactly rookies, but they’ve all carved
out well-deserved spots for themselves
on the list this year, and I doubt we’ve
seen the last of any of them in the all-star
ranks. Read on for all our 2009 all-stars’
stats and stories. And just in case you
missed it, you can watch the 2009 All-Star
Awards Show here at http://tinyurl.com/

As co-founder of IN[FOCUS] and

Vieux Carre, Julian St Pierre wasn’t
just a great friend and leader of the
industry; he was also a friend to
many, many people within it, myself
included. Julian’s great sense of humor,
his energy, his signature Spielberg
look, his unmistakable, inimitable
New Orleans raconteur’s voice, and
his endless enthusiasm for just about
any undertaking he could draw you
into were absolutely infectious.
