Anyone can have a great idea, but few have the connections to make them real.

We're here to change that...

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

1. Prepare a pitch of up to 2 minutes for your movie or TV idea.

2. Join us at Stan Lee's Los Angeles Comic Con to make your pitch inside the Legion M Pitch Elevator movie set, and be a part of our TV series pilot!

3. If you can't make it person, record a video of your pitch and submit online.

4. Once all the pitches are collected, staff, members and shareholders of Legion M will judge and select finalists.

5. 10 finalists will receive a $250 cash prize and a chance to pitch their idea to a panel of Hollywood agents and executives. One grand prize winner will receive $1,500 in cash and a development deal with Legion M that guarantees $15,000 if their project gets made!

CONTEST OPENS FRIDAY OCTOBER 28, 5PM PDT
