We could all use a good laugh these days, and the gala screening of the 2024 winners at the AICP Awards in Los Angeles promises a perfect opportunity. Award-winning director David Shane of O Positive will be the featured speaker as the awards’ 2024 National Tour kicks off at The Ebell of Los Angeles.
The event, set for Thursday, July 26, starts with a happy hour from 6 to 7 pm, with the program to follow. The evening closes out with a reception from 8 to 11 pm.
As the evening’s featured speaker, Shane will take attendees through a journey to examine the creative process and the nuances of working with actors. Joining him will be Chloe Wepper, an actor who appeared in Shane’s Apple spot “Album Cover,” a winner in the Performance category at this year’s AICP Show. Wepper is also known for her work on Office Christmas Party, Star Trek: Picard, and The Rookie, among other credits.
Their conversation will delve into all aspects of performance and acting for film. Shane will also discuss the creation of his short film for the AICP Awards, The Journey, which will be screened at the start of the program.
A founding partner of O Positive, Shane’s work, with an emphasis on comedy, has won awards around the world. His “Best Friends” spot for Uber One | Uber Eats won the Advertising Excellence honor at this year’s AICP Show. It was also nominated for an Emmy Award this year, as was “Album Cover.”
