- And now it's just begun -

As it is the 1st of December it is now time to reveal the ten finalists who will pitch their idea live on stage to a panel of industry professionals and the audience next October 2009 at the Fourth International Screenwriters' Festival.

We had over 900 entries out of which the ten were eventually picked.  It was one hell of a tough decision that had to be made. 

The final ten ideas were chosen by 4Talent from a longer list of which had had all names, gender, nationality and age information removed to allow them to make the fairest choice based on the idea itself…

We do hope to see you at the Festival in October where you will have the opportunity to question the winners yourselves.

And the finalists are;

Philippa Langley - The Council

---

Steve Moore - OneFourSeven

---

Tim Clague - Delete Friend?

Khalid Shamis - Chilli Chilli Bang Bang

Martin Keady - The First Man

David McCrea - Lottery

David Turner - In the Name of Light Entertainment
