The Breakthrough Directors Of 2022 [The Playlist Podcast]

Here at The Playlist, we’ve written quite a few year-end, Best Of lists to close out 2022. Everything from Best Films and Best TV Series (obviously) to Best Posters, Best Cinematography, Best Scores, and even Guilty Pleasures. And to put the bow on the Best Of lists, we have one more to share with you, in podcast form, no less — The Breakthrough Directors of 2022.

For this episode of The Playlist Podcast, we have compiled a list of 20 (well, 21, technically) filmmakers who have had breakout projects this past year. This is a list that covers nearly every genre, from horror to family drama, to cringe comedy, and even crime thrillers. By the end, you will have 20 recommendations of projects you should definitely check out as soon as possible.
