Filmmaker's Pitch

Filmmaker's Pitch

Our 'Pitching to Producers' session is back again for 2024.
We had fantastic feedback from 'Writers Pitch to Producers 2023'. So much so, we were compelled to do this again.

"Last year's Pitch Winner, Nathan Higgins, returns this year with the film he created from his winning pitch, Nightshave. It will be showcased in the 'Afternoon Delights - A Short Film Showcase'

The value of pitching is having feedback from the room of fellow pitchers, and producers. It will give you insight on how others understand your story, and how to make your idea clear. You may also get some added benefits from pitching, like finding likeminded people to join your crew, or find out your script is better as a series rather than a feature.

The entry is $20 per person.
Your entry is considered complete once the payment has been made.

This pitching session is ideal for a short film, but you are able to pitch a feature film or TV series (which is only recommended if you have made a short film previously).

Participants from anywhere can enter, however the pitch will take place on Sunday 24th in the morning of the Festival. This will be an invite only audience of participants, and producers.

Producers
in the room will be revealed shortly.
Closing date for the pitching is 3rd November.

An online meeting will be arranged for mentoring for the pitch with Prashanth Gunasekaran (director and co-producer Stranded Pearl), Misty Flick's talent development coordinator.
