Tokyo — We are honored to announce that Rajay Singh, Co-Founder and Film Director at our group company in South East Asia, Directors Think Tank, was selected as the Film Craft Lotus and New Director Lotus Jury for the ADFEST 2023.
Founded in 1998, ADFEST is one of the biggest advertising festivals in Asia. ADFEST 2020-2022 was canceled due to Covid-19 situation, but this year the festival will be held in Pattaya, Thailand from 23 to 25 March with the theme ”RISE.”
Rajay Singh / Film Director
Rajay is a business entrepreneur, film director and avid cinephile whose visually arresting and often surreal videos are lauded both locally and internationally. Directors Think Tank is a constant feature in award shows and has been ranked the No.1 production house in Asia in Campaign Brief for three years running and the No.1 in Asia Pacific for two of those years.
In addition, Directors Think Tank won the Production House of the Year at the Kancil Awards 2022, the largest advertising awards in Malaysia, for three times running. Directors Think Tank's Indonesian subsidiary, Think Tank Nusantara, won the Craft House of the Year at the Citra Pariwara 2022, the largest advertising awards in Indonesia.
Now in the next chapter of his career, he’s on a mission to create platforms for the next generation of storytellers to excel.
In 2018, the largest production group in Japan, AOI Pro., looked to him to expand their footprint. Rajay took the opportunity to cement Directors Think Tank’s presence in the region and to challenge his directors to find their unique storytelling approach in different environments.
Rajay also heavily invests in new toys for this team to experiment with. Proud parents to a Bolt arm and with another along the way, he pushes his directors to innovate and be bold with the way they bring scripts to life.
When not plotting the next challenge for his directors, you can find Rajay obsessing over classic bikes and classic Porsches in equal measure.
