Synopsis
Developing and Pitching Your Project to the North American Market
In her Ex Oriente Film workshop lecture, Claire Aguilar will talk about how to produce and present a successful project. For the past 2 years, COVID-19 has seriously affected the film and documentary market. Shooting and in-person onsite production has come to a standstill. In-person screenings and markets have become virtual. Film festivals and documentary events are slowly resuming in-person, or have retained a virtual/online component.
As for developing and pitching, how has this environment affected the North American market? True, some sales or development opportunities suffered, but also some opportunities have emerged during this time. As our world has become more accessible through technology, we have also seen economic reduction on all fronts, including the film and entertainment industries.
We'll explore the North American market and audience and will look at how to navigate the North American territory for distribution and release possibilities, including new streaming services and platforms. Claire will add some pitching "dos and don'ts", innovative ways to pitch and leave ample time for Q&A and discussion.
