Boutros gains a Nice Shirt

London-based production company Nice Shirt has announced that director Emilio Gamal Boutros has joined their New Talent roster for worldwide representation.

The announcement comes on the heels of Boutros’s win at ADCAN, an international competition which invites up and coming filmmakers to create and submit a completed commercial for a live charity brief.

His film, for US charity United We Dream, highlights the unfair treatment of many undocumented immigrants under the Trump administration. Boutros came up with the idea, wrote and directed the film in the space of month, ably produced by Jack Cain, another member of the Nice Shirt team.

Boutros [above right, with Cain] is a graduate of the Arts University of Bournemouth, and has been making short films and music videos since leaving the college, as well as working as a researcher at Nice Shirt.

“We have high-hopes for Emilio,” said Richard Martin, Nice Shirt EP. “Beneath his self- effacing exterior he is one of the brightest, most creative and hardest working people I’ve ever met. His directorial work already shows a distinctive style and I’m sure there is much more to come. The ADCAN award is evidence of a considerable talent.”
