BlackStar Pitch

The BlackStar Pitch, taking place live at the festival, is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for new voices in independent film to connect with industry professionals.

Eight filmmakers will pitch their short nonfiction projects in front of a panel of judges, including funders, executives, distributors and producers, to receive feedback and have an opportunity to win a grand prize of $75,000 in production funds, mentorship from Multitude Films, feedback from BlackStar Projects programs staff and two passes to the 2025 Camden Film Festival. 

A second-place winner will receive a $25,000 prize for production funds as well as feedback from BlackStar and two passes to the 2025 Camden Film Festival.
