PITCH-SLAP
Pitch your film idea and be in to win
Do you have a great idea for a film or need funding to get your film made, or do you have a story you absolutely have to tell? If so, PITCH-SLAP is for you.
PITCH-SLAP was created to support experienced and emerging film makers to bring their ideas to the big screen.
