Matt Eastwood, John Mescall are LIA 2015 Jury Presidents
Eastwood will preside over the Print, Poster and Billboard jury whilst Mescall will head up the jury for the TV/Cinema/Online Film category.
President of LIA, Barbara Levy, said, "LIA is honoured to have them presiding over these two juries. An Award Show is only as good as its juries. Having John and Matt is about as good as it gets."
Eastwood stated, "After a re-injection of energy some years ago, LIA fast became one of the industry's most important shows. The calibre of jurors is always beyond compare, so it is a thrill to preside over the Print, Poster and Billboard jury. I look forward to helping curate a show that both records the best work and inspires more of the same."
Mescall added, "It is a huge honour to chair the LIA TV/Cinema/Online Film jury. This show not only upholds the very highest standards but it leads the way in its efforts to bring the next generation of creative leaders into the jury room. That makes LIA a very special show to be a part of. Moreover, despite all the brilliant innovation and subversive qualities of the best work in the newer categories, there will always be a purity and artistry about Film that makes it wonderful to judge. Most great campaigns, no matter how integrated, still have a wonderful piece of film at their very core. Therefore, TV/Cinema/Online Film as a category is as vital and as current as it has ever been, maybe even more so. I can't wait."
