What’s Next for Woodside Motion Co.
As we move forward from our first PitchFest, we want to share what’s ahead for Woodside Motion and what you can expect in the coming months.
First, we want to thank all the authors, creatives, and partners who made PitchFest a meaningful milestone for us. The energy, stories, and collaboration we experienced reaffirmed why we do what we do.
What’s Coming Next
We’re excited to share that Woodside Motion is preparing to launch a new CineDrama Series, built from select projects we have officially optioned.
This marks an important step forward for us—not just in development, but in actively moving stories closer to screen-ready execution. These projects will serve as part of our evolving slate, combining storytelling, visual direction, and audience engagement in a new format.
What to Expect Moving Forward
We are building this step by step, with intention, and with a focus on doing things the right way.
- Continued project evaluations and feedback cycles
- Expansion of our development slate through optioned works
- New opportunities for authors to collaborate in early-stage production concepts
- Future events and programs designed to better connect stories with the right creative and production partners
