A Pitch Opportunity for our Filmmakers
Posted 9th August 2023
Pitchfest is one of Floating Rock's contributions to the country which brought us together. With Hillfarrance’s investment, Kiwi storytellers of all mediums are one pitch away from making their own animated film or TV series. We want to provide an opportunity for storytellers to tell their stories!
Not everyone has the funds or the team to bring that idea to the big screens. We want to help fill that gap with this platform to help them create a well rounded pitch deck to take to buyers.
Pitchfest is a recurring event, approximately every 4 months, hosted here in Wellington where creatives come together to collaborate as well as celebrate those who want to pitch with us.
A development fund is available for creators we see with the most potential. Show us your invigorating and unique stories, we can’t wait to hear them!
Our 3rd Pitchfest this year is October 07 2023.
