This is where the next Arkansas short film gets its start, live and in front of you. Emerging filmmakers take the stage to pitch the project they most want to make, each with a few minutes to win over the room and a panel of industry judges. On the line: a Film Gear Rentals equipment grant, a $5,000 cash prize, and a guaranteed premiere at Filmland 2027. And you're not just watching. You'll cast your vote for the Audience Choice Award, going to the filmmaker who wins the room. See the ideas, the nerves, and the real stakes up close, and help decide who takes it home.
