After last year's iteration saw six projects optioned, AACTA is set to re-team with Monster Pictures to run a horror and genre film development initiative.
Josh and Laura Sambono have managed to get the drop on seven other finalists to win the 2021 AACTA Pitch: Bite initiative, with the pair set to receive $10,000 in development funds and an exclusive distribution deal with Monster Pictures for their Drop Bears concept.
Filmmaking teams entering AACTA Pitch: Mother should think about their idea in terms of audience and trust the process, according to last year's winners.
