DEADLINE: IF/Then x The Redford Center Nature Connection Pitch

CALL FOR SHORT DOCS-IN-PROGRESS
Application Open for Nature Connection Shorts Pitch at Big Sky

IF/Then Shorts and The Redford Center call for filmmakers to share short documentary works-in-progress [1] focusing on connecting or reconnecting with nature for a pitch and professional development workshop series at Big Sky Documentary Film Festival 2023 [2]. The opportunity celebrates storytellers and stories that spotlight the physical, mental, social, and planetary benefits of restoring and strengthening humanity's relationship with the natural world. We invite projects poised to help attain the vast benefits that time outdoors can contribute to individual, community, and environmental health.

Selected participants will receive a workshop on issue-oriented, impact driven filmmaking from The Redford Center, a tailored pitch training session hosted by IF/Then Shorts, and will present their projects to a roundtable of invested participants in both the non-fiction and environmental activism space. Each selected project will also receive a $5,000 grant from The Redford Center to support the development and production of their project. Activities will take place at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival February 23-24, 2023.

Application open through October 3!
