Posted by Matt Brunson on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 4:06 PM
Charlotte native Sasie Sealy is among the 10 semifinalists in the Netflix FIND Your Voice competition presented by Netflix and Film Independent (FIND). Over 2,000 aspiring moviemakers submitted two-to-three-minute video shorts, with FIND selecting these 10 remaining candidates for the grand prize: a $150,000 production grant for a full-length feature, film equipment, distribution through the Netflix Web site, and advice during production from industry insiders.
The five finalists will be selected by the public; go here to watch the shorts and cast your vote (voting is open now through July 5). Sealy's film is a fantasy thriller titled SARAHN_12. On the site's Leaderboard, which tracks viewer votes, her short is presently in seventh place.
The winning film will be chosen from the remaining quintet by a panel of judges (including Oscar nominee Josh Brolin) and will premiere at the 2010 LA Film Festival.
