At the live pitch event, five project teams compete against each other in front of an audience and a jury of experienced filmmakers. When presenting, it is important to convince them of the creative vision and feasibility of a cinematic project in a short amount of time. The challenge is to find a balance between content and form and to follow a clear presentation structure. But the most important thing is to light a spark in the judges’ eyes so that the pitching team can walk away with the best pitch award the same day. Be there when cinematic highlights are born!
