A Word from the Founder

As an indie filmmaker developing and producing projects in Los Angeles, I faced countless challenges: lack of mentorship, limited resources, no industry connections, and few opportunities to showcase my work. These obstacles taught me a crucial lesson: talent alone isn’t enough. To truly succeed, you need a platform, a network, and access to the right tools.

Pitch to Screen was created as a response. A space for independent filmmakers to share their stories, access valuable resources, and connect with a supportive community. Our goal is to break down barriers and help transform ideas into meaningful impact. Join us in empowering creative voices!
