Carrying on a local tradition of team-based filmmaking competitions, Elev8or Pitch invites groups to complete a one-minute pitch for a feature film, along with an eight-minute proof-of-concept short.

The top eight submissions (selected by an independent committee) then participate in a screening, live-pitch session, and Q&A with a jury of industry professionals who award three top prizes.

The winners receive cash prizes, mentoring, script consultation, and workshops, all with the goal of helping the teams take the next steps toward a feature production.

By purchasing an Elev8or Pitch Pass, you agree to:

Assemble a team and produce an original proof-of-concept film, no longer than 8 minutes.

Record a one-minute Elev8or Pitch to be viewed by the screening committee prior to watching your film.

Participate in the live pitch session, if you’re one of the finalists.
