Ready-¦Set-Pitch! That’s right pitching your film idea has now become a spectator sport at the New Orleans Film Festival. This year, NOFF launches a new pitch competition for Southern students as part of the event line-up. Pitch Perfect will convene a group of stellar film students (both narrative and documentary) from across the region to present their projects to an esteemed panel of broadcasters, filmmakers, industry insiders, and critics. This event offers an ideal opportunity for Southern film students to gain invaluable experience in conveying their artistic vision and ideas, a critical step in the filmmaking process that often gets left out of the textbooks.
At the end of the pitches, the panel of judges will decide on one winner for each session. The winners will be awarded a $500 cash prize (sponsored by Studio WTA) to go towards production of the film they pitched and an Academic version of the Movie Magic Budgeting & Scheduling software. The following schools will send delegates to Pitch Perfect: Florida State University, Loyola University, NOCCA,Tulane University, University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, University of New Orleans, University of Texas at Austin, and Wake Forest University – Documentary Film Program.
