You are welcome to attend and participate at The Pitch Sessions. We will be delighted to welcome you on Sunday, 16th of April from 11:00 to 13:00.

PARTICIPANT

Do you have a music documentary film in the making? The submissions are still open! Submit your project here.

The selected projects will enrol in a full programme consisting of two workshops (project development and pitch training) and a spot to pitch in front of an audience and a selected panel of experts.

On top of that, one project will cash in €500 worth of rental equipment courtesy of BudgetCam as well as a spot to premiere the film at IN-EDIT!

What?

Participating at The Pitch Sessions means you get two workshops led by award winning docu filmmaker Koen Suidgeest and a spot at the final pitch during the IN-EDIT Festival.

Workshop 1 – Project development (Tuesday, 11th April): you will further develop your idea and form it into a solid project plan.

Workshop 2 – Pitch training (Wednesday, 12th April): get to prepare your pitch through feedback rounds and discussions as well as both group and one-on-one coaching.

Final Pitch (Sunday, 15th April 11:00 – 13:00): you will give a short presentation to an audience and a panel of industry professionals in different fields. After your presentation, the panel will give you advise and feedback.

One-on-one meeting: after the event, you will be able to opt to a meeting with one of the advisors to help you take the next step.

The panel will select one project they want to see screened at IN-EDIT in the future. The maker of that project will also receive rental equipment credit to help them get one step closer to realising their documentary.
