The Opening Night Film Competition is a 'pitch-to-produced' film competition where one filmmaker will win the prize of having their story produced into a short film by Drive Media House, located in Cincinnati, Ohio! The final winner will work with Drive Media House in summer 2019 to produce the Opening Night Film for Cincinnati's Cindependent Film Festival.

Pitches should be about stories that could be filmed in 1-2 days with few characters (recommended 3-4 max,) with an anticipated run time of 2-8 minutes including credits.
