Every great movie starts with a pitch.  Pitching your idea to execs and investors is 1/3 of the business.  We are looking for filmmakers of all genres to pitch their short film ideas (in the pre-production phase) to our competition.

First: Submit a 45 word logline of your short film and upload 2 minute pitch video. Engage us in any genre!

Next: Our CBIFF 2022 jury class will choose the top 3-5 pitch entrants and they will be invited to Power; CBIFF’s 6th Annual film festival to perform their pitch live. 

Finally: The winner of the competition will work with Gravitate to work create a polished pitch to send to investors, up to $1000 in production consulting with Amachi Yah Films and $500 dollars for production costs. 

In the fall the winner will have their film premiere at Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse.
