Going to get a video of my MEGA pitch up as soon as I get hold of the (undoubtedly embarrassing) clip, but this is a summary of where *The Precinct* is now (also a summary of my pitch), as written for the MEGA guys:

> Australia doesn’t have its own animated series for adults; a *Simpsons*, a *South Park*. We think it’s long past due, and that we’re the ones to deliver it in the form of *The Precinct*.  
>  
> We love the cop shows and cop movies of the 1980s, and it’s those synth-powered explosion-fests we pay tribute to in our story, the story of a team of crazed, toilet roll-shaped cops whose precinct house is threatened by a corrupt city mayor.  
>  
> We came into the MEGA program with ideas and a thirst for knowledge, and came out with a multiplatform strategy based around an animated series, a series of interstitial episodes and an online choose-your-own-adventure game.  
>  
> We know our market exists. They watch American shows like *South Park*, *The Venture Bros* and *Harvey Birdman*. They’re active viewers who care about the stuff they watch and have opinions on it.The challenge lies in monetising our concepts, given they’re also big downloaders.  
>  
> As far as we can tell, the main reason a show like this hasn’t happened yet is because it’s a tough market out there, and it’s always easier to sell a kids’ show. But *The Precinct*, while being unashamedly Australian, is designed for a world audience who love COP ACTION! A natively digital Flash animation production will keep costs down and quality high. An innovative online and offline marketing strategy will be the key to making *The Precinct* economically viable.  
>  
> Film Victoria has invested about $25,000 into *The Precinct*’s development to date. Our intention is to partner with a local network who have an interest in launching an Australian first; a cartoon series for adults which tells an Aussie story.  
>  
> With a theme song sung by John Farnham.

Yep. It's better with pictures.
