Over the weekend, ten aspiring filmmakers traveled to the Venice Film Festival to pitch their ideas to a special jury featuring director Ridley Scott and actor Michael Fassbender. Those ten people were the finalists in the YouTube-Sponsored “Your Film Festival,” announced earlier this year. The finalists were whittled down from over 15,000 entries, and included two Australian and two American short films.

But it was a Spaniard, David Victori, that took the prize. His short film, The Guilt, won top honors from the panel. As the winner, he will receive $500,000 to launch a new YouTube project with the help of Fassbender and Ridley Scott’s production company, Scott Free Productions.

Check out the winning film below, and check out the other finalists’ work here.
