Transmedia project wins pitch comp

Roy Weiland’s children’s transmedia project Barton The Ghost Catcher has won the Metro Screen Pitch and will represent Metro Screen at the national pitching competition at SPAA Fringe next month.

The winner at SPAA Fringe competition will then compete as one of only two finalists at the SPAA Conference in November. This winner will receive an airfare to Cannes or a TV market in 2011, a $1,500 cash prize and free registration to the 2011 SPAA Conference.

In Barton…, when a class weirdo is tormented by ghosts, he feels that things could not get worse until he finds out he is the only person who can stop them and save the world.
