Elev8or Pitch is a film competition held as a key component of FILM FEST KNOX, an annual film festival in Knoxville, Tennessee. The competition invites filmmakers to submit a one-minute pitch for a feature film idea, accompanied by an eight-minute proof-of-concept short film. The top submissions are then screened, followed by a live pitch session and Q&A with industry professionals, who award prizes to help teams develop their projects into feature productions.
