Pitch trailers can be used by film directors, producers or executive producers during the film's planning, crowdfunding or fundraising phase.
They are often self-financed and are structured and edited to appear like an ordinary feature film trailer.
[1] Well known examples of feature films produced following a successful concept trailer pitch were The Lord of the Rings film series, Looper[2] The Hunger Games,[3] Machete, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, the Super Troopers films, Iron Sky, Pickings, Miles Ahead, Hardcore Henry, Lazer Team, The Peanut Butter Falcon and others.
Pitch trailers became popular among indie filmmakers who use websites like indiegogo and kickstarter to fund their movies.
