Got a great idea for a movie? Just pitch it in :60 seconds or less... 

American Express has long committed to connecting audiences to great independent storytelling, starting with their founding of the Tribeca Film Festival over a decade ago. So in 2010, at the advent of YouTube and social media, Amex wanted to celebrate in the indie spirit with a much larger audience. To give anyone with a great story a voice.

My Movie Pitch was the rare contest for both casual film fans and aspiring auteurs alike. You didn’t need to know a thing about making a film; you just needed a good idea, one that you could pitch in 60 seconds or less. The winner, as decided by a special Tribeca jury and the votes of online users, would get the perfect movie ending — having their story made into a film by an acclaimed indie director, premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival.
