10-10-10 Teams Revealed

Young Filmmakers Involved in SBIFF's Student Challenge Get Paired Up

The 20 student finalists in this year's 10-10-10 competition gather for a group shot moments after being matched together into scriptwriter-filmmaker pairs.

And you thought they were kidding when they said it would be random.

For the 20 student filmmakers and scriptwriters selected to compete in this year’s SBIFF 10-10-10 competition, the wait to begin work finally ended as each of the 10 filmmakers wiggled a hand around in a wineglass full of slips of paper and withdrew a screenwriter’s name. For the next 10 days, each pair will rush to produce a 10-minute film to be shown and judged at the end of the festival. While the scriptwriters have been working with a so-called “industry professional” on their scripts for the last several months, they weren’t matched with their filmmaker until today — and the clock’s already ticking.

The filmmaker-screenwriter partnerships are as follows:

Marz Miller (Santa Barbara High School) & Cameron Platt (Laguna Blanca)
