Deadline Approaching for Galway Film Fleadh Pitching Competition
26 May 2015 : Seán Brosnan
Past winners include Will Collins who pitched 2010’s ‘My Brothers’
The deadline for this year’s Galway Film Fleadh pitching competition is Friday, 5 June.

As hosts of Ireland’s longest-running film pitching competition, the Galway Film Fleadh aims to encourage budding screenwriters and filmmakers with ideas (at any stage of development) to get their vision out there and to develop the crucial craft of ‘the pitch’.

Since its’ inception, The Galway Film Fleadh Pitching Award has challenged writers and provided a platform them to share their ideas with their peers. In 2010 the Fleadh opened with Paul Fraser's ‘My Brothers’, which began life three years earlier as a pitch by writer Will Collins. Today, Collins has an Oscar nomination under his belt as the writer of ‘Song of the Sea’ which also just received the IFTA Award for Best Film.

Applicants must write a 500-word pitch (from beginning to end) of their feature film idea. Any genre of feature drama, documentary or animation will be considered. An increased number of finalists will now be selected to pitch their idea as an ‘Elevator Pitch’ of 90 seconds in front of an audience and a panel of industry judges on the closing day of the 27th Galway Film Fleadh (Sunday 12th July). The winner will be announced at the Awards Ceremony that evening and will receive a cash prize of €3000.

Closing date is Friday 5th June and participation fee is €30. Entry forms, guidelines and testimonials from past participants are all available from www.galwayfilmfleadh.com.
