With over 300+ short film projects submitted in the first quarter, we are thrilled to invite you to the "Lonthon Shorts Fund Q1 2024 Pitch Battle" organised by Studio Lonthon.
Five (5) groundbreaking and thought-provoking short film projects are shortlisted through a meticulous selection process, guided by artistic merit, storytelling prowess, and the potential for impact.
These five young directors/producers and their short film projects were chosen to attend our first Pitch Battle by Studio Lonthon's panel of industry experts and creatives.
Each team will get 15 minutes to showcase the merit of their project in front of our jury and the world.
Lonthon Shorts Fund is a quarterly short film financing platform for young directors and producers which is the first of its kind in South Asia.
We aim to scout, nurture and empower aspiring filmmakers in Bangladesh and strive to contribute to a richer, more varied cinematic landscape that reflects the vast diversity of human experiences in South Asia.
The platform also has a goal to turn this Bangladeshi platform into a global film market and democratise the barrier to entry into the filmmaking industry.
We pray and hope that you will attend the first-of-its-kind ONLINE event as Lonthon Shorts Fund continues its journey, dedicated to fostering a vibrant ecosystem for short filmmakers.
The fund envisions expanding its reach, and budget, forging new collaborations, and being a catalyst for the creation of impactful short films that resonate with audiences worldwide.
The 5 shortlisted projects for the "Lonthon Shorts Fund Q1 2024 Pitch Battle" will be announced on our socials tonight.
See you all on Friday, December 29, 10.00PM (Bangladesh Standard Time)
