A NEW BANFF 2001 PITCHING OPPORTUNITY!
CONVINCE A TOP EXECUTIVE TO TAKE A MEETING!
To provide a platform for new players and new ideas, BANFF 2001
is launching New Players Pitch an initiative that will expose emerging
talent to top decision-makers in the content-creation business.
The aim of this session is to give new players an opportunity to
secure a meeting with a broadcaster, distributor or partner who
can help move a project from idea to development or from development
to production.
During New Players Pitch, scheduled on June 12 and 14, 2001 from
10:00 - 10:30 a.m., selected applicants will have approximately
three minutes in the spotlight to present their projects from the
BANFF 2001 stage. A panel of key decision-makers who are interested
in specific projects will announce their willingness to schedule
one-on-one meetings to progress a project.
The deadline for submissions was April 30, 2001, applications
are no longer being accepted.
