Cinema & Entertainment

Combine the acclaim of Academy Award-winning and nominated franchises, ESPN Films, National Geographic Films, and Hulu by creating a film partnership for Mastercard, leading up to the biggest night in movies, The Oscars.

Throughout the year, Mastercard will receive extensive exposure by creating priceless experiences for its cardholders around these film franchises, and through the development of custom content to drive Mastercard’s message to potential newcardholders.

The Art of Filmmaking Lecture

PRICELESS EXPERIENCE: Journey into the mind of one of today’s top filmmakers, an Academy Award-winning or previously-nominated writer/set designer, who will share their passion, discuss the craft, and recount memorable moments in their career. In a recorded interview, the filmmaker will talk about priceless lessons they’ve learned, and how they continue to push themselves as a visual storyteller. From personal Hollywood anecdotes to advice for aspiring filmmakers, this exclusive content will surely capture the imagination of movie-lovers and Mastercard cardholders everywhere.

PRICELESS SURPRISE: As the industry adapts to new production safety standards, so will schools that teach filmmaking – only without the big Hollywood budgets. Let’s create an unforgettable experience for a well-deserving, Los Angeles-based high school or college filmmaking class, where an Academy Award-winning or previously nominated writer/set designer makes a surprise visit to inspire the next generation. Shot in-person and/or virtually, the writer/set designer will answer questions and get to know the students before diving into a masterful lecture. The custom content would close with Mastercard Priceless Surprise branding and tune-in for the Oscars on ABC.

Please note: concepts are pending AMPAS approval
