Matt Miller, President and CEO of AICP, announced yesterday that Robin Shenfield, Co-Founder and CEO of The Mill, will serve as Chairperson of the 2018 AICP Show: The Art & Technique of the American Commercial.

As Show Chair, Shenfield will oversee the AICP Show Committee, which is responsible for promoting and marketing the AICP Show, as well as facilitating the judging process and selection of judges.

He will also spearhead the selection of companies providing content for the AICP Show reel and serve on the the Board of Governors, which is the final arbiter of the show.

The AICP Show is one of the tent-pole events of the popular AICP Week, which also includes the debut of the AICP Next Awards and various creative and educational sessions at the AICP Week Base Camp. Each year’s AICP Show is made a part of the permanent archive of the Department of Film at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Shenfield believes, with good reason, that the show has now become the industry standard for honoring craft and creativity.

“Having participated in the AICP Show Curatorial Committee several times, I can attest to the AICP Show being the industry standard,” he says. “The rigorous process to become a Show honoree reflects its high standards.”

The new chair started The Mill in the U.K. in 1990 with 30 employees; today it has over 1,000 in offices in London, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The company has created award-winning work for the likes of Audi, Verizon, adidas, Volkswagen, John Lewis, BMW, and Nike.

“Robin personifies the evolution of production,” Matt Miller told Reel Chicago. “Having built one of the great global digital production companies over the past three decades he [Shenfield] has a unique position and perspective in the industry. His vision has garnered nearly 40 winning pieces in AICP Shows, and earned him unsurpassed respect from his peers.”
