Dream Life by Sarah Daggar-Nickson and Scott Otto Anderson has won the One80Project TV pilot competition run by Optus.
The three-minute film about the unravelling of a perfect family was the top pick of judges Alex Dimitriades, Emily Barclay and Company B artistic director, Neil Armfield.
The first prize includes an opportunity to work with producers at MTV to develop the pilot into a full-length drama to be shown on the music television network and via the Optus Zoo mobile portal.
“There are are a lot of people out there who have really fantastic ideas and it’s really hard to get your foot in the door … a competition like this is fantastic because it can facilitate someone making something,” said Barclay.
