Art of the Documentary Pitch

Be the armchair executive and greenlight the projects in this game-show style workshop. Industry experts who make a living off giving the greenlight will discuss the pros and cons of these select documentary pitches. 

You can also throw your hat in and pitch your own idea! Enter your pitch for a chance to get valuable feedback on your project's first impressions and win a one-year subscription to Filmmaker Magazine & IFP membership.

Three total filmmakers with documentary feature ideas will be selected in advance. Filmmakers will have two minutes to give their pitch to the panel who will then dissect it. 

To Submit Your Pitch:
Send your pitch (30 words max), project title, and your name by 6pmEST on Friday, September 6 to coordinator@ifp.org, with the subject line ‘Art of the Documentary Pitch’. Overlong pitches will be disqualified. Submitting pitchers must be able to attend the Filmmaker Conference. The two filmmakers selected to pitch in advance will receive one free Conference Day Pass on Monday, Sept. 16.

Presented in partnership with HBO Documentaries.
