How hard was this? Our round-up of 2014 continues with a selection of the many directors who had their work featured for the first time in Promo News over the past year. We've selected 20 names from our 'New Directors' section - which means that these directors are new to Promo News, possibly new to directing music videos, possibly not very experienced directors. 

They come from far and wide, and their work is really good. And we probably could've picked another 20 names that were fully deserving to be on this list. Yeah, it was hard...
