Produced in partnership with Sundance Institute and the Ford Foundation, Good Pitch events have raised more than $30 million for films and their impact campaigns in 15 countries, showcasing media that matters and makes a difference. Good Pitch Local shares this model of curated networking with new partners and places, meeting growing interest in evolving forms of media production and distribution with a focus on short, long, documentary, fiction, and multi-platform storytelling. The initiative supports high-impact projects by connecting media makers with local funders, organizers, educators, lawyers, policy makers, and press to shape innovative media that can galvanize communities and promote civic engagement.
