For the panel
Help decide which films break out.
Filmmakers pitch and show a trailer. You react, vote, and make an offer only if you want to. It is recorded on your phone, when it suits you.
- About an hour for the pilot
- No studio, no travel

Questions
How much time is it?
About an hour for the pilot, and a few hours across a season. You record on your phone inside a window we agree.
Do I have to make an offer?
No. You are never obliged to. An offer is yours, made in principle, and put on paper privately afterward.
Is it paid?
The pilot is unpaid and voluntary. We send the kit you need and cut your clips for you.
Will I see my clips first?
Yes. You see every clip of you before it is posted.
How are judges chosen?
By invitation. Tell us who you are here and a person will write back.
