Hot Pilot Party Script Submission

Have YOUR script read at BANFF

Get pumped for a special BANFF edition of HOT PILOT PARTY! One HOT, unproduced Canadian half-hour comedy pilot will be chosen for a special live table read at the festival featuring top tier talent.

Come for the art, stay for the party! Let’s get a little rock n' roll in the Rockies. Join us for some good ol’ fashioned community and entertainment!

Following a nationwide call for entry, we’re looking for the top 5 unproduced comedy pilots in Canada. A single script will be chosen for the live table read at BANFF, and 4 additional scripts will have the opportunity to be featured at the festival and receive international trade press, plus a complimentary pass to the Banff World Media Festival.

About HPP: Created by writer/actors Nadine Bhabha and Julian De Zotti and casting director, Hannah Antaki, HOT PILOT PARTY began in 2024 as a way to gather the Toronto Film and TV community and celebrate some Canadian talent! They assembled Toronto’s finest to read two unproduced comedy pilot scripts in front of a live audience, and amassed over 200 artists and community-members to listen, laugh, and libate. The inaugural event took place at the Theatre Centre in Toronto, with an all-star cast that included Eric McCormack, Jess Salgueiro, Amanda Brugel, Ennis Esmer and so many more!

SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

Thanks for your submissions! Only the writers whose scripts have been selected to be featured at BANFF will be contacted.
