A central part of our mission at 5Point is supporting the next generation of adventure filmmakers. Fortunately for us, our good friends at Stio feel the same way. Together, we’re thrilled to announce the return of the Adventure Filmmakers Pitch Event!

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

The event will give five filmmakers the opportunity to pitch their film ideas in front of a live audience at our 16th Annual Flagship Festival in Carbondale, Colorado (Saturday, April 22). The filmmaker with the winning pitch will receive $15,000 to kickstart their project and help make their vision a reality.
