The Floating Rock Pitchfest!

Posted Tuesday 28 Feb 2023

WIFT NZ and Floating Rock presents:

The Floating Rock Pitchfest

•       Do you have an idea for a feature film or tv series you want to make?
•       Do you need guidance with crafting a pitch deck to secure funding?
•       Do you want some money to develop your story?
Floating Rock can help!

Boutique animation studio Floating Rock is offering an opportunity for storytellers to realise their stories through the Floating Rock Pitchfest. They are primarily interested in animation and VR projects.

This workshop is your chance to find out more about this exciting opportunity, this dynamic company and the team behind it all.

Not everyone has the funding or the team to make a series or feature film. With Pitchfest, Floating Rock aims to help people create a well-rounded pitch deck to take to distributors. The goal is to get the pitch funded and have the stories produced at Floating Rock.

Come and hear Floating Rock Co-Founder / Creative Lead / Animator Stephanie Parker, and Floating Rock Production Manager Ruby Cumming and find out where the opportunities are for you!

WIFT NZ members free; non members $15 cash; includes wine and nibbles.
