Each finalist had just five minutes to pitch their boldest, most original screen project idea to a live panel of judges. This year's finalists - all of whom are to be congratulated for their entertaining, polished pitches - were:

• Amanda Jane Robinson - Pitcairn
• Arvid Eriksson - Cold Cuts
• THUNDERLIPS (Jordan Windsor & Sean Wallace) - PISSED
• Lucy Timmins - The Bug Club
• Magda Wojciechowska - Roadkill Rockband
• Rachel Fawcett, Ryan O'Kane & Emma Leonard - God Awful


A very big thank-you to all our sponsors who make this fantastic event possible, and to Hon. Paul Goldsmith, Minister for Arts, Culture & Heritage, for joining us for this year’s BIG PITCH.
