South Pitch

For over a decade, the New Orleans Film Festival's South Pitch has invited filmmakers from across the South to pitch ideas for potential film productions to a judging panel of film industry professionals. This year, South Pitch offers two tracks, depending on the type of film: There will be South Pitch Narrative presented by Warner Bros. Discovery (1:30 pm–3:30 pm), where the winning narrative pitch will receive an invitation to apply for an artist grant from Warner Bros. Discovery's content innovation hub OneFifty. There will also be South Pitch Documentary (4 pm–6 pm), where the winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize. Winners will be announced at the NOFF Awards Brunch on November 6. Finalists and the projects they will present to the panels have already been chosen, but South Pitch is open to the public. neworleansfilmsociety.org/south-pitch.
