The Great Untold is a partnership between Netflix and Adobe centered around finding a new generation of filmmakers far away from the industry to elevate untold stories. To find these talents we launched a film competition on TikTok with a simple ask: create a movie trailer of an untold story set in your world. The winners would get the chance to realize their idea into a real short film, fully produced with the tools, talent and support of Adobe and Netflix.
The competition received over 16,000 submissions that gathered over 600 million views on TikTok alone. Three winners were chosen to receive a grant of $10,000 and the mentorship of an industry vet to help them make their first film. The final short films and the behind-the-scenes documentaries covering their journey can be watched right here.
