On February 1st i photographed the Optus One80 Project finalist screenings. The One80 Project is a film/tv making competition where you create a 180 second pilot of TV drama series. The winning pilot is then greenlit into production by MTV.

The finalist screening was a lovely evening held in Harmony Park Surry Hills. It’s all open to the public with free food, booze and entertainment courtesy of N’Fa and Bob Evans.

The competition was judged by previous winner Ben Briand, actors Sibylla Budd, Marcus Graham and Teresa Palmer plus Michael Selwyn, MD of Paramount Pictures Australia.

Teresa Palmer seemed to be the ‘it’ girl of the evening. She recently appeared in the Adam Sandler kids film Bedroom Stories and has been tabloid fodder because of a string of boyfriends including Russell Brand, Adam Brody and Topher Grace.

The judges choice was Wauchope and the viewers choice was Staying.

You can see more photos from the evening in the photo gallery or at MTV.
