Well Ava, Disney and Nissan have partnered to give one lucky winner the chance of a lifetime by launching a nationwide search for the next visionary filmmaker in celebration of the upcoming release of “A Wrinkle in Time.”

If you didn’t know our girl Ava wrote, produced and directed her first narrative feature “I Will Follow” in 2010 on a budget of $50,000.
