The Superpitch competition last Thursday, December 8th, showcased 17 incredibly strong and varied projects from across the region. We saw finalists battle it out for pitch supremacy in front of a live audience of 209 participants at the Pan Pacific Hotel, Singapore. A mixture of non-fiction, kids television and formats drew the attention of the judges who attended and supported the event.
