FINCH’s ‘The Eleven O’Clock’ receives Oscar Nom

The Eleven O’Clock, directed by Derin Seale and produced by Karen Bryson, has been nominated for the 90th Academy Awards. The film will be one of three nominations representing Australia, alongside ‘I, Tonya’ star Margot Robbie and ‘Dunkirk’ editor Lee Smith. This comes only a few weeks off the back of winning the Best Live-Action Short Film award at the 7th AACTA (Australian Academy Cinema Television Arts) Awards.

Says Karen Bryson, EP, FINCH: “It’s an honour for the film to be nominated. You never think when you’re making a small budget short in Sydney that it will go this far, but it’s testament to everyone’s hard work, and Derin and Josh’s vision that it has.”

The film follows the delusional patient of a psychiatrist who believes he is actually the psychiatrist himself. As they each attempt to treat each other the session gets out of control.

Since ‘The Eleven O’Clock’ debuted at Flickerfest last year, it’s been greatly received by audiences globally throughout the year. Originally written as a play by the film’s writer and star Josh Lawson, the story revealed itself to be perfect for the first collaboration between Lawson, Seale and Damon Herriman in its early days.

The team at FINCH congratulates and thanks Derin Seale, Karen Bryson, Josh Lawson, Damon Herriman, Alyssa McClelland, Jessica Wren, Eliza Logan, Matt Toll, Elizabeth Mary Moore, Brenda Burcul, Drew Thompson, ARC EDIT, Alt.VFX, Song Zu, McGregor Casting, D.A.M Studios, and the rest of its awesome cast and crew who made the film possible.

Director Derin Seale is available for TVC work through FINCH.
