Five minutes before the deadline, the filmmakers of Sanshead Studios submitted a video to Pitch the 406 http://scout406.com/ , a contest for the opportunity to win $20,000 in film equipment and labor.

"We almost didn’t do it," said director and writer Matthew Smaglik, 23.

Now, they’re happy they did. Online voting put their pitch for the movie "Magpie" in the top 10 of nearly 30 videos, and four industry judges unanimously voted it the winner at the beginning of this year.
