The SMASH Pitch Workshop will be hosted by My SMASH Media at 3.30-4.30pm on Saturday 11th April at Genesis to help content-creators refine their pitching skills.

Pitching is rarely a walk in the park so the team at My SMASH Media is keen to help filmmakers feel as relaxed and confident as possible when it comes to selling a project to potential backers.

Join us and pick up some useful tips.

This workshop is open to all but also it is a requirement for those who submitted to the London Independent Film Festival Mini-Market on Sunday 19th April. You will NOT be selected for the Mini-Market if you have not attended this workshop.

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 spring at the Genesis cinema – repeatedly voted the best cinema in the UK – the 2026 London Independent Film Festival will screen the work of almost 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.
