What is CineCoup?
They make the movies fans want to see, by asking you which ideas you like the best. Their model brings talented filmmakers into the public eye and challenges them to build an audience before the cameras even start rolling!
What Does CineCoup Want?
They want high concept, genre projects and we know Canada’s got the good stuff so bring it on! We’re talkin’ SCI-FI, HORROR, ACTION, THRILLER, COMEDY, or documentaries that deal with similar themes (ie. King of Kong, Indie Game: The Movie, Trekkies, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, etc.) Filmmaking teams start by submitting a movie trailer. Over 12 weeks they advance through CineCoup’s social web platform and in the end we option (up to) 10 projects and greenlit one for production with (up to) $1 Million in production financing and a release in Cineplex Theatres!
Applications open Monday, Feb. 9. Teams then will have just 5 weeks to make a 60-second teaser video that showcases their film’s concept. Sun, Feb 22 – Early Bird Deadline ($60/team)
Sun, Mar 8 – Final Deadline for projects ($120/team)
