Sony, in partnership with Creo<\/a>, has just announced the winners of the first-ever annual Sony Future Filmmaker Awards, an online filmmaking competition. Winning titles include submissions coming from Brazil, China, Colombia, Italy, Korea and the United Kingdom.<\/strong><\/p><276111-inline-buylinks\/>\n\n\n\n

In the summer of 2022, Sony created the first edition of the Sony Future Filmmaker Awards<\/a> to honor the talent and dedication of creators worldwide. The competition ran from July 26th through December 13th, 2022. The 3000+ attendees engaged in a creative head-to-head battle to see their names appear on a list of 30 shortlisted works<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were then carefully re-examined by an exclusive jury chaired by director Justin Chadwick, supported by Nicole Brown from TriStar Pictures, partner of United Talent Agency Jeremy Barber and Academy-Award winning cinematographer Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
