The BIG SKY PITCH is an exceptional opportunity for filmmaking teams to “pitch” their documentary work-in-progress to a panel of the top commissioning editors and funders for documentary film. All documentary forms and all subjects are eligible to submit. Held in downtown Missoula at the Zootown Arts Community Center the Big Sky Pitch is open to a live audience of filmmakers, industry representatives, festival attendees and students. Commissioning editors will have the opportunity to critique and comment on each pitch. A maximum of 10 projects will be accepted to pitch in this session. Selected projects will have 10 minutes to pitch their project and show a sample, if available, followed by a 10 minute feedback session with panel. This is an engaging and entertaining experience for filmmakers and non-filmmakers alike.

Past Big Sky Pitch panelists have included: HBO Documentary Films, Participant Media, BBC Storyville, CNN Films, ITVS, POV, PBS, Tribeca Film Institute, Sundance Doc Fund, Chicken & Egg Pictures, The Fledgling Fund, Catapult Film Fund, ESPN Films, Film Independent, ITVS, New York Times Video, Vimeo and Gravitas Ventures.
