Overview

The Blanc Pitch is a short film that follows a young creative presenting the idea to create a production company to his group of friends, framing the encounter as a tense, satirical look at pitching, ambition, and the pressure to sell an artistic vision. The narrative centres on the dynamic between the group and a chicken flapping around in the corner of the room holding plain paper; inevitably the film shows in a comedic manner how the production studio 'Blanc' came up with their name. Rather than focusing on action, the film leans on dialogue and tone: the “pitch” becomes a character study about aspiration, validation, and the awkward power imbalance between someone trying to make something meaningful and a wildcard... something that everyone disregards but could actually be the most important thing in the room.
