For the fourth year running, My SMASH Media has partnered with London Independent Film Festival to host a Pitching Session ahead of the LIFF Mini-Market.
The SMASH Pitch session is open to all but is required attendance for shortlisted participants, who will have the opportunity to practice their 3-minute pitch. Pitching is rarely a walk in the park, so the team at SMASH is keen to help filmmakers understand what to include in their pitch, as well as feel relaxed and confident when it comes to selling a project to potential backers.
Join us and pick up some useful tips.
To submit your pitch visit mysmash.media/ideas/liff-mini-market. It’s all FREE to create and submit your SMASH Pitch.
Come and join us on Saturday 4th October, 15:00–16:30 at Genesis.
About the festival:
The London Independent Film Festival (LIFF) is devoted to the advancement of first- and second-time filmmakers telling amazing stories with limited budgets. Hosted every October at the Genesis cinema – repeatedly voted the best cinema in the UK – the October 2025 London Independent Film Festival will screen the work of approximately 100 filmmakers from around the world. Stretching over 10 days with numerous industry events, LIFF offers an unmissable opportunity for networking and building collaborations for future projects. It's little wonder that Time Out Magazine has called LIFF "a treasure trove of undiscovered cinematic gems, one of Europe's top indie film fests".
With a reputable support system for emerging filmmakers, LIFF includes popular training programs run by industry professionals who understand the ins and outs of moving a filmmaker's career to the next level.
