The prize went to producer Catherine Tait of Canada’s Duopoly and Jonas Diamond for SOS: Save our Skins which is being co-produced with U.K.’s Baby Cow Productions.
Digital Comedy Lab is an incubation program for film projects in the comedy mockumentary genre for the new YouTube generation, providing support in the following areas: training, script development, production financing and distribution.
Digital Comedy Lab 2013 will be the second edition of the programme and it’s produced by beActive in partnership with Filmbase, and Setanta Sports. It’s open to comedy writers, actors, comedians, producers and/or directors who believe that they have an idea that could be the next Borat, The Office or This is Spinal Tap.
