After receiving a record 230 submissions, a total of 55 web series represented from 15 different countries were selected to screen at this years event.
This year, in a festival-first, creators will also have the chance to pitch their idea for an original web series at Pitch Perfect @ MWF – a fast-paced and interactive pitching competition that will earn the winner $5,000 towards script development.
Opening night of the event set to feature a keynote presentation from John Cabrera (Gilmore Girls, H+: The Digital Series) and the premiere of Melbourne WebFest’s very own web series, Melbourne WebFest Presents: 2046.
