Our panelists are hard at work narrowing the 47 Script to Screen submissions down to our top three or four finalists. Join us Wednesday, July 1, 6-8 pm at Desert Island Studios to see actors do a live table read of the three finalist scripts, hear the writers pitch their projects, enjoy free food and drinks, and VOTE on which film should win.

That’s right, if you’re new to Catalyst, our grantmaking is a democratic process (at least one system still is). Every CFC member and everyone who comes to the Pitch Party (regardless of membership status) gets to vote. The winner gets $10k and a collective of filmmakers to support them. Make your voice heard. Decide what kind of media we all need to see.

Thank you to our 2026 Script to Screen sponsors Oregon Film, Portland Events and Film Office, filmscience, Funnelbox and Desert Island Studios, thanks to our actors Sandra Lee, & Brinley Tate and thank you to everyone who worked so hard writing all these beautiful scripts.
