Want to fly out to Toronto for a few days and tell the story of one of the most innovative companies in the world?

Deloitte has a ton of brainpower and is constantly evolving, solving complex problems, leading the way. Deloitte is igniting the future and challenging the way businesses think about doing business.  

One filmmaker will be selected off the strength of his/her pitch to fly to Toronto and visit the Deloitte Greenhouse and learn about how Deloitte is disrupting the status quo and trying new approaches at every turn. Cutting-edge technology is transforming the workplace as we know it, accelerating discussions, inputs and outputs. When you’re there, you’ll be peeking into the future!

You will also be given access to dozens of hours of pre-existing footage from Deloitte to help tell their innovation story. A representative from Deloitte will be available on-site and via email to help you through the process.

Please visit the “Assets” section of this project to find a helpful, information-packed document from Deloitte, which describes some of the initiatives/stories they’d like you to capture.  

The goal of this project is to create a 120-180-second Video -- from original, as well as pre-existing footage provided by Deloitte -- capturing the innovative work being done at Deloitte.

Important Note 1: You will be required to travel to Toronto to be on-site at Deloitte.  The pitch award of $5,000 is larger than usual in order to cover associated costs.

Important Note 2: The Video will have TWO versions – one with French Voiceover and one with English Voiceover.
