Hey all! Max here, back with more funding opportunities for the documentary filmmakers in the EA community and beyond!

This time however, it's a little different... But an absolutely HUGE win for the animals and the planet.

On the 4th of June, we're hosting a LIVE pitching competition for food-systems documentary filmmakers, in partnership with the Hollywood Climate Summit 🤯

Quick Note: If you don't know, Hollywood Climate Summit is an annual 2-day event that bridges the gap between Hollywood and climate action - and they have quite an emphasis on the climate benefits of plant-based food. Last year the event hosted the likes of Jane Fonda and Bill Nye...!

Anyway, back to the LIVE pitching competition: 6 filmmakers will be chosen to pitch their films (at any stage of production) for the chance to win up to $50k USD.

Each film is discussed and judged by a panel of esteemed industry jugganaughts, some of whom (*more to be made public in the coming days*) include:

➡️ James Wilks: Producer of The Game Changers & The Game Changers 2...
➡️ Kip Andersen: Director of Cowspiracy, Seaspiracy, WWJD, What The Health
➡️ Stephanie Soechtig: Director of Poisoned, Producer of Fed Up

Please Note: Climate doesn’t need to be the central part of the narrative, although sustainable plant-based food systems should be it’s core.
