Film Independent Fast Track 2025
Ends on
Before You Begin
Thank you for your interest in Film Independent's Fast Track finance market. Designed to connect producer-director teams with industry leaders and put projects on the “fast track,” the market consists of meetings with top executives, financiers, agents, managers, distributors, granting organizations and production companies. Participants gain valuable exposure and build vital relationships as they propel their films toward completion.
Fast Track is open to any directing and producing team attached to a full-length fiction or nonfiction film. Fiction films must be in the development or pre-production stage at the time of application, while documentaries must be in principal photography or post-production. The program is open to both experienced and first-time filmmakers, as long as they are actively seeking financing for their project.
Fast Track will take place across three days in Los Angeles in November, with a virtual pitch workshop to take place beforehand.
