Mark Albiston

Mark Albiston has twice been awarded special distinction awards at the Cannes Film Festival in France — for short films Run and 2009's The Six Dollar Fifty Man, which Albiston co-directed with Louis Sutherland (the latter film also won top prize at Sundance 2010). After a stint working in the UK, Albiston returned home to launch Sticky Pictures, where he won awards making innovative programmes about the arts.

I think good directors don't direct, they channel. You pick the right people for the job you want to pull off and, as long as you communicate clearly what you ‘see’, then they can grow it.
