Mini-MeetMarket
The Mini-MeetMarket: MeetMarket’s Little Sister
The Mini-MeetMarket is a unique opportunity for new and emerging documentary filmmakers to meet executive producers in an informal setting at Sheffield Doc/Fest.
This is a pitching and steering session, taking place on the morning of the Friday of the festival. The session is open to Sheffield DocFest delegates and Newcomer’s Day passholders, who have the opportunity to meet industry movers and shakers in an intimate roundtable environment.
The aim is simple: to enable you to get feedback on your documentary idea, no matter how undeveloped it is at this stage. You’ll get a response on how you pitched it as well as pointers on how it needs developing, where to go next, and how to improve your chances of getting funding.
Projects selected for 2009 are listed below. Make sure you sign up to the Doc/Fest mailing list for news on 2010 submissions to Mini MeetMarket
