Anthony Del Col and Jagdeep Mavi won the Telefilm Canada Pitch This! competition for their project “Outsourced” Tuesday at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film is a feature comedy about a twenty-something computer programmer/slacker who devises the ultimate get-out-of-work scheme: he outsources his own job to India – without telling his boss or co-workers. Del Col and Mavi receive a $10,000 CAD prize to assist with costs related to the development of the project. Applicants were short-listed down to six finalists, who were assigned pitch coaches to help them prepare for the competition. The competition is part of the festival’s Industry Initiatives.
