ARRI Inspiration Challenge Finalists Announced

AbelCine, ARRI, and Tongal are pleased to announce the Pitch Winners in the ARRI Inspiration Challenge: Madeline Kate Kann for Specular, Amitabh Joshi for Searching for Harishchandra, Paxeros Creative for Self-Portrait.

The ARRI Inspiration Challenge received over one-hundred submissions of exceptionally high quality. Selecting the three Pitch Winners was incredibly difficult for the judging committee and was almost a challenge in itself.

As a reminder, the ARRI Inspiration Challenge asked creators to pitch a 2-3 minute long piece that illustrates how ARRI inspires their creative and cinematic vision. In the next phase of the Challenge, each finalist will receive a $10,000 stipend and an ARRI ALEXA Mini rental package to complete the project that they originally pitched on Tongal. Production will last through the fall and will be completed by November 2017. A number of prizes will be awarded during a special screening and celebration event at the end of the year — one Grand Prize Winner will take home their own ALEXA Mini Camera Package and Alura LWZ Zoom lens!

Once again, we extend our congratulations to the three Pitch Winners — we can’t wait to see their finished projects. And of course, a big thank you to everyone who took the time to submit to the Challenge.

Stay tuned for information and updates as the Pitch Winners move into production!
