    I can’t believe it, my film “Sold” we shot on the 5D was chosen as a semi-finalist out of over 15,000 submissions for Ridley Scott’s “Your Film Festival”! https://www.voteforsold.com

    If my film ‘Sold’ is voted by the public into the top 10, I’ll be flown to Venice, Italy to open the Venice International Film Festival with my film! Even more amazing, if ‘Sold’ wins, Scott Free Productions will award a $500,000 grant for me to make my dream movie with Ridley Scott! Please help my dreams come true and vote! https://www.voteforsold.com

    Sold is about a young journalist who is inadvertently captured into a human trafficking ring while investigating the treatment of undocumented immigrants in America.

    This competition is another fascinating look at how Scott Free productions has been able to use Youtube to gain more exposure for filmmakers (the first being that Life in a Day documentary).

    This is the link people are using to watch the film and vote:
    https://www.voteforsold.com
    The above link will take someone directly to the film where they can click the red “VOTE” button to the right. Voting ends on July 13th and people are allowed to vote once a day. If you like the film, please help! I can’t even imagine how cool it would be to go to Venice Film Festival and open the fest with my short! If you like the film, please vote!
