INCENDO’S “SWEPT UNDER” UP FOR 2016 DGC AWARD

Director Michel Poulette nominated for Achievement in Movies for Television and Miniseries

Montreal, June 27th, 2016 – Incendo, Canadian leader in television production and distribution based in Montreal, is very proud to announce that the director of its movie SWEPT UNDER, Michel Poulette, is nominated for his work in the category Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television and Mini-Series at the 2016 DGC Awards. Nominees were released earlier today by the Directors Guild of Canada.

Shot in Montreal and directed by Michel Poulette (Kept Woman, Maïna, Bonanno; A Godfather’s Story), SWEPT UNDER stars Devin Kelley (Chernobyl Diaries, Resurrection, Covert Affairs, The Chicago Code) and Canadian actor Aaron Ashmore (Warehouse 13, Killjoys, I Put a Hit on you).

SWEPT UNDER - Meet Morgan. At first glance, she's just your average cleaning lady. She has no problem getting her hands dirty, which is a good thing considering it's not fancy houses she cleans for a living - it's gruesome crime scenes. It's at one of these scenes that Morgan discovers a key piece of evidence overlooked by the forensics team. This, and her knack for reading blood splatter, catch Nick's attention, a newbie detective working the case. The pair soon become unofficial partners on what's become a stream of related murders and the closer they get to solving the mystery the closer they get to each other. But while they succeed in getting a confession from their primary suspect, their feelings for each other risk blinding them to the truth and they find themselves dangerously close to the real killer.
