How it Works
We have limited spots available, and submissions will be selected randomly. Please ensure your application is complete, as incomplete submissions will not be considered.
Selected Participants will be notified on Friday December 6th and will need to confirm participation on the same day. If selected, you will be required to sign an NDA and a small session fee of $10.00 will be required to confirm your spot. This fee helps cover the cost of snacks, tea, and coffee for the day and ensures that participants are committed to attending. With limited spots, we appreciate your understanding! ❤️
Each selected participant will be assigned two producers to review their materials prior to the Pitch Workshop Day. Additionally, you’ll be paired with another filmmaker in the workshop, and both of you will exchange and review each other’s materials before the event.
On December 14th, each filmmaker will have 5 minutes to present their verbal pitch, followed by 25 minutes of feedback from the producers on both the verbal pitch and the submitted pitch deck. Your paired filmmaker will join your session, and you’ll attend theirs. This pairing is designed to foster open dialogue and create a peer connection for continued support and discussion beyond the workshop, if desired.
