A Word from the Founder

As an indie filmmaker in Los Angeles, I faced countless challenges: little mentorship, few industry connections, and limited opportunities to showcase my work. These obstacles taught me a crucial lesson: having ideas and drive isn’t enough. You need guidance, industry support, and a stage to create, grow, and present your work.

Pitch to Screen was born out of that experience. It’s a space where independent filmmakers can develop their projects, access essential resources, and connect with a supportive community. We stand behind creators, celebrate their efforts, and provide the platform they need to succeed. Join us in empowering creative voices!
