YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PITCHDOX
What is PitchDox?
PitchDox, the documentary film competition exclusively for Hoosiers, invites filmmakers to submit their unfinished documentary projects for the chance to win a $10,000 financial award to fund the production of their film. After receiving more than 20 submissions, interviewing semifinalists, and narrowing the list down to five finalists, the PitchDox Main Event is almost here! Join us on Saturday, October 12th from 3-5:30pm at the Kan-Kan Cinema to support Hoosier filmmakers.
Here’s everything you need to know about PitchDox 2024:
Why should I attend the Main Event?
It’s hard to describe the energy you’ll feel as you actively participate in an event where Hoosier filmmakers passionately pitch their film projects and one of them walks away with $10,000 to help them make their dream a reality! You can be a part of this incredible experience on Saturday, October 12th if you snag a ticket now.
Not only will you get to watch our five finalists pitch their documentary projects for the chance to win $10,000, but you’ll also have the opportunity to vote and decide who wins the Audience Choice award!
