EDN Online Pitching: Historical Docs

admin | February 4, 2011 | Comments (0)

The EDN Online Pitching initiative series will see four documentary projects pitched to a group of leading international financiers and decision makers. Each session will have a specific focus like science, history, art or similar. The pitching takes place online in the EDN Video Conference Room and each session lasts one hour.

The aim of the EDN Online Pitching Sessions is to create a forum where documentary projects with a specific focus can be introduced and discussed. This low cost set-up makes it possible to create space for introductions and discussions of themes and focuses not always viable in the offline world.

The deadline for submitting projects for the Historical Documentaries session is 14th February 2011 and filmmakers must upload their project at the EDN web site. This is possible by adding the project in question to a EDN Membership Profile. They must then email a 2-page description of the project and a link to the project profile to submit@edn.dk.

This must include:
- Title, name of producer, production company and director, length, format & production plan/time of delivery
- Short synopsis
- Treatment with visual approach & reflections on the narrative
- The total budget sum (not the whole budget)
- A brief financing plan
- Short CV & filmography of company and director
- Contact details on producer/production company and/or director

Participating in the EDN Online Pitching Session is free of charge, but it does requires an EDN membership. Visit www.edn.dk for more details.
