Hidden Compass

Hidden Compass is proud to present our fourth annual Pathfinder Prize Pitch Event! The 2026 Pathfinder Prize finalist teams will pitch their projects live for a chance to receive an $18,000 grant to fund a team of curious modern explorers and filmmakers on a cinematic expedition. Our Pathfinders are multimedia storytellers who bring our community behind the scenes in digital dispatches, and share their expedition through magazine features and a short documentary film that will premiere in a movie theater in California in late 2026.
