Six production houses from Hong Kong, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan were shortlisted to
pitch their concepts in person. No money was at stake.
 "The
end goal of this is to get people more familiar with
how to pitch," said one of the judges on the panel,
Kahani World CEO Biren Ghose. "We sometimes ask
creators on stage to work on a project we have."
SuperPitch
2.0, part of Asia Television Forum, offers contestants
access to a judging panel of commissioning editors,
broadcasters and funding companies from channels in
the Asia Pacific region.
All
genres were eligible, and the judges heard and saw pitches
on animation features, travel programmes, a reality
series on a pastry competition and a children's news
show.
In
the end, The News Kids from Hong Kong, and two
Taiwan ideas, Monster Coins and Splash Nash,
garnered most marks from the judges. Splash Nash,
from ODD Incredible, won the plaque.
