EDN announces three new online pitching sessions

Jan. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Through the EDN Online Pitching Sessions documentary projects with a specific focus are pitched to financiers and distributors. The online pitching format started in September 2010 and has proven to be an easy and cost effective way of matching filmmakers with financiers. Among the projects being pitched have been:

You’ve Been Trumped by Anthony Baxter. Premiered at Hot Docs 2011

The Brussels Business by Friedrich Moser & Matthieu Lietaert. Theatrical distribution in Germany, Austria, Belgium and other European countries

How Are You by Jannik Splidsboel. Premiered at Berlinale 2011

A Moon On My Brow / Going up the Stairs by Rokhsareh Ghaem Maghami, Iran. Nominated in the IDFA Competition for Mid-Length Documentary.

During an EDN Online Pitching Session four documentary projects are pitched to a key group of leading international financiers. The pitching takes place online in the EDN Video Conference Room and each session lasts one hour. This means an effective and focused way of matching documentary makers with relevant financiers and funders.

The three new EDN Online Pitching Sessions just announced will have the following dates and thematic focuses:
