How does it work?
The 2 1/2 days will focus on:
• Didactic presentations by key animation players (broadcasters, distributors, producers, digital players).
• Pitches made by animation young talents coming from all over Europe.
Why should you pitch your project?
It will be a unique opportunity for young talents of animation! In 2 days, you will mesure the real maturity of your project, you will know if it is adapted to the needs of broadcasters or to the request of distributors. The experts will point out the strengths and weaknesses of your project, what you need to improve, change or highlight to make your project more consistent and in line with market requirements. To give your project a better chance of existing one day. It will not be easy, but we heartily believe that some will end up one day being pitched at Cartoon Forum (TV series), Cartoon Movie (feature films) or Cartoon 360 (crossmedia).
