Both Luke and Pete work for the The Pitch; The Pitch fund exists to give emerging filmmakers a chance. They currently offer £30,000 for the top entrant to shoot their short film, following everyone from Ridley Scott to Martin Scorsese in making a film inspired by the Bible. They are open to filmmakers of all and any background.
They have a variety of other grants available, plus excellent training and feedback opportunities through their unique process. The Pitch judges include the director of the National Film and Television School, while finalists have gone on to make internationally praised feature films, securing agents, managers and a roadmap for their career.
