Documentary Edge IndustryDOC Pitch 2012

AUT, Auckland 2 – 4 May 2012 | Last updated 15 Feb 2012

DOC Pitch will allow selected filmmakers to pitch their project to a panel of local and overseas commissioning editors, buyers and other funders sitting together in a documentary specific pitching forum.

Documentary Edge is pleased to open submissions to all full registrants of Screen Edge for the annual DOC Pitch (Pitching Forum). DOC Pitch allows selected filmmakers to pitch their project to a panel of local and overseas commissioning editors, buyers and other funders sitting together in a documentary specific pitching forum.

The 6th DOC Pitch is now open for applications until 5 Apr 2012. Up to twelve filmmaking teams will be selected. There will be a master-class on pitching prior to the Pitching Forum which selected applicants are required to attend.

This is a significant opportunity for independent filmmakers to put forward their ideas for documentaries with more universal themes to local and overseas commissioners and buyers and to make important new contacts. For the Panel, it provides them an opportunity to hear of new and exciting projects. Observers will be able to hear international commissioning priorities direct from the decision-makers as well as to watch & learn from the pitching process.

 

Projects

DOC Pitch seeks projects that are challenging and innovative in its subject matter as well as the treatment and delivery. In our selection process, we will give priority to:

We are particularly keen to identify projects with international appeal and strong co-production potential particularly to Australia, USA, Europe and Asia. Projects that push creative boundaries and/or have multi-platform potential are encouraged.
