McDonald’s Canada Is Soliciting Very Short Pitches for Very Short Films

The art of the pitch in Hollywood is something few writers ever master, but the writers who do are able to earn serious cash for their ideas.

So, why not get in a little practice? @McD_Canada wants to hear your 140 character pitch and make very short films from the best ideas.

According to Digiday, it’s “like an exercise in absurdist micro-stories.”

Here’s an idea with a fighting chance:
