August 10th 2009 18:44
Children’s fantasy animation series ‘Theo 13’ takes out top NSW project at last nights live pitch competition at Metro Screen. With 11 projects vying to take out top spot and represent NSW at the National SDA Pitching session the competition was fierce.
Judging the projects was Martha Coleman Head of Development at Screen Australia, Ranko Markovic Producer of Cedar Boys and Katrina Beck Marketing and Communications Manager for Metro Screen.
Charged with the task of choosing one representative the judges interrogated each pitch along with the audience to form their final decisions. Due to the high caliber and diversity of projects pitched the judges awarded two honorable mentions and a runner up as well as the top prize.
Honorable mentions went to ‘On The Balcony’ by Tracey Savage and Pauline Findlay, a kids television show and ‘Going For Broke’ by Stuart Willis, a multi platform 18 episode live action satire. Runner up and the project that secured support from a well established producer on the spot was ‘The Cult Of The Cat’ by Gita Irwin, a short documentary project.
Winning the chance to represented NSW at the National SDA Pitching competition at SPAA Fringe was ‘Theo 13’ by Alex Alexander, a 25-episode children’s fantasy animation. Without giving too much away these projects have great potential for commercial success, artistic achievement, social commentary and political satire.
The National Screen Development agencies [SDA] are giving six new screen projects the chance to pitch their ideas at SPAA Fringe in Oct and the SPAA Conference later in the year.
SDA is made up of Metro Screen in NSW, QPIX in QLD, Media Resource Centre in SA, Wide Angle in TAS, Open Channel in VIC, Film and Television Office in WA.
Each SDA is running a competitive process through workshops and live pitching rounds in order to discover the nominated project for each state. These projects will then go to SPAA Fringe in Oct and compete against each other with the winner going onto SPAA conference.
