The Perfect Pitch at ECU 2009!

The Perfect Pitch is a new program to premiere at The European Independent Film Festival, taking place March 13th-15th, 2009, at La Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Francois Mitterand, in Paris.

 

The program begins with a series of workshops - taking place on Friday, March 13th- related to preparing and executing a pitch presentation.   Following the workshops each participant will have the opportunity to pitch in a practice pitch session, from which twenty individuals will be selected to pitch their projects to a panel of industry professionals – ranging from producers and programmers to distributors and financiers – on the final day of the festival, Sunday, March 15th.

 

The Perfect Pitch is the perfect opportunity for filmmakers and industry professionals alike.  Filmmakers will work on improving all aspects of their pitch, meet various industry professionals and gain exposure for their projects.  Industry professionals will learn about new film projects and the filmmakers creating them as well as meet other individuals representing studios and production and distribution houses.
