Submit to Meetmarket
MeetMarket at Sheffield Doc/Fest is a unique pitching initiative which uses online systems to match-make documentary and interactive media makers’ most innovative project ideas with UK and international buyers for one-to-one meetings in a fully supportive environment.
Submit your project online, along with one-page treatments and a one-minute teaser clip, in advance of Doc/Fest, allowing buyers to view your submissions of innovative documentary ideas. The application process is fully online. SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1ST
Selected projects have project information and trailer available on our (password protected) website for the commissioners and other executives to review before the MeetMarket.
From this, they select which projects they would like to discuss in one-to-one meetings at MeetMarket.
For more information on MeetMarket 2009, for detailed tips for applying, and to see those who were selected to pitch, go here.
MeetMarket is for documentary projects in development with international appeal. Projects do not need to have any financing already secured and can be at any stage from early development to rough cut. Producers can be from anywhere in the world and we welcome international submissions.
Projects can also be in any genre or format of documentary/factual, from factual entertainment through to art/installation documentaries. We especially welcome cross-platform projects (in 2009 we had 13 out of 61) and this year will have even more devoted cross-platform decision-makers across the whole Doc/Fest marketplace.
Applying to MeetMarket includes an administration fee of £10 plus VAT per project
The deadline for submissions is strictly Wednesday September 1st and late applications will not be considered. Please make sure you are logged in to your My Doc/Fest account before starting a MeetMarket submission.
PLEASE NOTE, YOU WILL RECEIVE EMAIL CONFIRMATION OF YOUR MEETMARKET SUBMISSION WHEN IT IS COMPLETE - if you do not receive confirmation of your submission within 30 minutes of completing it, or have any queries about MeetMarket and the application process, please contact us
