AND THE WINNER IS:

Asher Treleauen, with his comedy-doco series "On Becoming a Man". Asher, who has a background in standup comedy, had the audience engaged with his funny and clear pitch. In the series, Asher proposes to place himself amongst various sub-cultures of people who see themselves as real men, and in doing so seeks himself to discover what it really means to become a man. Asher has won project development advice from leading feature film and TV production company Ruby Entertainment (Crackerjack, Bad Eggs, The Craic, TV's Bed of Roses, Kath & Kim, Whatever Happened to That Guy). This major prize also includes $3,000 worth of equipment hire from Open Channel.

Congratulations to all the finalists, who were all commended by the panel for their well delivered pitches.
