For the month of May, Drake Doremus, is here to stay! (as Film of the Month Judge)

Drake is a highly acclaimed Writer/Director who has premiered more films in Sundance than out of it; however, he is most well known for causing emotional heartbreak to large numbers of people who thought they were turning on a rom-com when they watched his 2011 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Like Crazy.

At age 19, Doremus was the youngest fellow ever accepted at the American Film Institute. This made him part of an elite group of alumni that include Darren Aronofksy, David Lynch, and Terrence Malick. His second feature ‘Spooner’ was met with critical acclaim at Slamdance, and his past three films (Douchebag, Like Crazy, and Breathe In) have been part of the official selection of the Sundance Film Festival. Next up for Doremus is Equals, a futuristic love story, starring Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult, which he filmed in Japan and Singapore this past year.

Drake has made a name for himself with his stunningly beautiful, emotionally gut wrenching films packed full of tremendous performances (Felicity Jones anyone!). We don’t need a witty sentence to encourage entries.

Entries are open to all Shooting People members until the May 20th. Hurry up and send them in.

Once you have, feel free to catch up on Doremus’ Sundance winning ‘rom-com’. Disclaimer:
