A regular event that the film festival holds is their Green Pitch Competition. Filmmakers are given an opportunity to pitch their movie idea to a jury in the hopes of winning a prize of $5,000.00 in development funding and valuable in-kind services. It is a fascinating event to observe, and the filmmakers all receive helpful feedback from the jurors.
The deadline for the applications is 5pm on September 10, 2010 and you can submit electronically by email to submissions@planetinfocus.org. The competition will take place during the festival, which runs October 13-17.
