About this Event
The Forest City Film Festival and Film London are launching Project Pitch 2026, and we're putting $30,000 on the table for three standout projects!
Watch the Next Great Film Idea Take Shape.
Join us for Project Pitch 2026, where filmmakers take the stage to pitch their next big project live in front of an audience.
Presented in partnership with Film London, three winning projects—one Emerging Filmmaker, one Narrative Short, and one Documentary—will receive production support, including a $10,000 cash grant, a $3,000 in-kind equipment package from SetReady Rentals, and a post-production consultation with OIART.
Whether you're a film lover, student, aspiring filmmaker, or simply curious about the creative process, Project Pitch offers a behind-the-scenes look at how great films begin. Watch finalists present their ideas, hear feedback from the jury, and be there as the winners are announced later that evening at the Closing Awards Ceremony.
Admission is FREE—no ticket required.
