Nissan and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures have created a nationwide filmmaking competition for the upcoming release of “A Wrinkle in Time,” directed by Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Ava DuVernay.
A contest created just for those who are looking to be the next big filmmaker. “Searching for the Next Visionary Filmmaker” contest will be sponsored by Nissan. Essentially, those aged 18 and up can submit a two-minute video that discusses their journey as a filmmaker. The more imaginative, the better. The only criteria other than age is that the key dialogue from the film, “Be a Warrior,” must be included.
Director Ava DuVernay has this to say about the contest in a statement.
“I’m thrilled to stand with Nissan and Disney to launch this dynamic contest with the goal of supporting an emerging filmmaker to think big, be bold and move forward bravely.”
Why participate? Because you can win a $100,000 prize and a trip to Hollywood to attend the premiere of A Wrinkle in Time. And just as icing on the cake, you also win an all-new Nissan Leaf.
THE “SEARCH FOR THE NEXT VISIONARY FILMMAKER” WINNER WILL RECEIVE:
The chance to meet “A Wrinkle in Time” director Ava DuVernay at the world premiere
$100,000 to create their own film
An all-new zero emissions 2018 Nissan LEAF
A paid trip to Hollywood for the film’s premiere including airfare and accommodation
A computer to assist in their future filmmaking
