MIP Africa Project Pitch: Connecting Ideas and Investment
MIP Africa, a leading film industry event in Cape Town from 2-4 September 2024, as part of FAME Week Africa, has opened the call for filmmakers, storytellers, and creative minds to submit projects for the prestigious Project Pitch Platform. This unique initiative allows aspiring creators to pitch their projects directly to commissioning editors, buyers, and financiers, offering a chance to secure funding and distribution deals.
To be considered for the Project Pitch Platform applicants must submit a comprehensive document outlining the project's development, target market, envisioned team, budget, distribution plan, and more. Submissions close on 28 June 2024 and the successful projects will be announced on 15 July 2024. All applicants will be required to come to MIP Africa in person and at their own expense to pitch.
Says Martin Hiller, Portfolio Director for FAME Week Africa, “Anyone who has tried to pitch a movie or series will know that the hardest part is getting in front of a decision maker. With the Project Pitch Platform, we are removing that hurdle and putting good ideas in front of key people in the industry. It could be someone's lucky break.”
