The Mini-MeetMarket: MeetMarket’s Little Sister
Missed the MeetMarket? Not right for you?
The Mini-MeetMarket is a unique opportunity for new and emerging documentary filmmakers to meet producers and commissioners in an informal setting at the Sheffield DocFest.
The Mini-MeetMarket is a project pitching and steering session, running during the morning of MeetMarket’s second day: Friday 3rd November 2006. The session is open to Sheffield DocFest delegates and Newcomer’s Day passholders, who will 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.
How to apply:
Filmmakers are invited to submit a short proposal – no more than 250 words in length – together with a brief biography and full contact details to kerry[at]dfgdocs[dot]com by Wednesday 18th October 2006. The application must fit on one side of A4.
Up to 25 projects will be selected to take part in this event, and the successful projects will be notified in the week beginning 16th October.
Please note: to be eligible for this event, you must be planning to attend the Sheffield DocFest either as a delegate or as a Newcomer’s Day passholder. You must also be available to attend meetings on the morning of Friday 3rd November 2006.
