The Mini-MeetMarket: MeetMarket’s Little Sister
The Mini-MeetMarket returns to Sheffield Doc/Fest
The Mini-MeetMarket is a unique opportunity for new and emerging documentary filmmakers to meet executive producers in an informal setting at the Sheffield Doc/Fest.
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 your idea as well as pointers on how it needs developing, where to go next, and how to improve your chances of getting funding.
Submit your project to this pitching and steering session, taking place on the morning of Friday 10th June 2011. The session is open to Sheffield Doc/Fest delegates and DFG Day passholders, who will have the opportunity to meet industry movers and shakers in an intimate roundtable environment - SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
We select participants based on your idea and whether you are at the right stage in your career to benefit from the experience. You can apply with shorts, features, tv or multi-platform projects, and we'll be looking for ideas with the potential to be realised in today's market.
Up to 30 projects will be selected to take part in this event, and the successful projects will be notified in the week beginning 23rd May 2011.
Please note: to be eligible for this event, you must be planning to attend the Sheffield DocFest either as a delegate or as a DFG Day passholder. You must also be available to attend meetings on the morning of Friday 10 June 2011 SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
