Sony Electronics and Sony Pictures have partnered in 12 international territories to launch the ‘DJANGO UNCHAINED Aspiring Filmmaker Competition’.  Aspiring filmmakers are invited to submit their resume and previous work in order to be the chosen winner for their country. That winner will be given amazing Sony camera equipment, including the new Sony NEX-VG900 Camera, and an excerpt from the DJANGO UNCHAINED script to film. Their video will then be submitted for review by Quentin Tarantino himself!
