Full List of V48Hours Winners

Wellington team Noise and Pictures defied the Auckland-centric gags in the V48Hours intro clip to take away this year's supreme award - the Golden Ape - for their short Brains? Comments from the mega-academy of international judges included "hilarious, original and surprisingly touching"; "something fresh and clever with the zombie sub-genre"; and "it's about love, it's about human emotions, it's about a Brain killing and undead heart".
