Kill Ana: A Graphic Memoir on Mental Health and Relationships by Charlotte Bailey 

MURO by Emilio Seri

As creators, having a great idea is only the first step. It's equally important to be able to communicate that idea effectively so potential collaborators, clients, or backers understand and buy into your vision. This challenge asks creators to create a 1-2 minute pitch video for a short story, short film or docu-short that quickly conveys the premise, tone, characters, creative execution, and/or why they're uniquely positioned to tell this story. From a simple talking-head video, to utilizing voiceover or sharing a rough proof-of-concept, there are many ways to approach a pitch video. We're open to them all, just make us want to buy into whatever you're selling!
