At a virtual ceremony, Natalie Qasabian was awarded the 2021 Sundance Institute/Amazon Studios Producers Award for Fiction Filmmaking for her film, Run, Deadline reported.
The awards honor bold vision and a commitment to continuing work as a creative producer in the independent space.
Qasabian’s husband/partner Sev Ohanian won the award two years ago for his work on Searching, which they produced together. Qasabian was presented by the award with her frequent collaborator, director Aneesh Chaganty (Searching, Run).
“As producers, we may doubt whether or not we can do something: but we can’t ever doubt if it’s worth doing,” Qasabian said in accepting the award.
Qasabian produced Run with Ohanian from a script co-written by Ohanian and director Chaganty. The film starred Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen for Lionsgate, which premiered on Hulu in Fall 2020 and became the most-watched film on the platform.
Searching was made on a sub-one-million-dollar budget and grossed $75M+ at the box office․
