Pitch the Doc is innovative, first and only on the documentary market web-based platform, providing functionality comparable to classical, live pitchings. This Action covered a first year of Pitch the Doc implementation. Platform is a tool targeted at professionals of the A/V industry, mainly European, but open also international. This is dedicated to facilitate access to market, co-production and cooperation by linking authors of documentary films seeking for cooperation and funding resources (for projects on any stage of production from development to market-ready), with decision-makers looking for coproducing or cofinancing or other business relations in A/V sector, as well as to promote documentary production, in wider and more cost effective way. The pitching packages available on the platform consist in three essentaial parts including standardized, detailed production information with visuals, film trailer and verbal pitch recorded on-line, directly to the server. Dimension and diversity of PtD is secured by being open for any professional European or non-European documentary author, being able to present project as production package, of any topic, format, lenght or stage of production. Decision-makers are able to get acquainted with curated projects, follow their development, contact authors and proceed to discuss co-operation matters. This way Pitch the Doc allows to initiate the business and artistic relationships. During Action period, the platform has been significantly developed and widely introduced to the industry market. Beside od the essential tasks of the system, we provide the number of features and tools dedicated to film projects development, marketing and pitching. As online tool, PtD crosses not only regional borders, but also continental ones, supporting curated projects to emerge on markets that seems to be almost inaccessible. This is cost-effective and internationally open industry tool, accessible at any time and from any place. At the end of the Action there are 283 registered documentary professionals, which means an increase of 328% in relation to its beginning. Regarding number of documentary projects this is increase of 205%. They represent 57 countries from around the world, in this 24 European ones (12 of low production capacity). This world-wide access for both documentary makers and decision-makers contributes for increasing capacity to develop European documentary works with a potential to circulate in Europe and beyond. Pitch the Doc got an endorsement of EDN and started cooperation and active presence at 13 international events. By introduced and developed tools and solutions dedicated for industry initiatives contributes to improvement of European and international dimension, effectiveness of existing markets and enhance systemic impact of smaller initiatives. As a general impact Pitch the Doc contributes in enriching the international A/V market with new works. For active decision-makers it contributes with, among others, access to internationally wide selection of curated projects, also from countries with low production capacity or distant locations, enlarging professional horizons by discovery of new talents, film ideas and topics, possibility to support and/or co-produce A/V works with new partners, cost-effective and comfortable way. For active authors it contributes with better understanding of decision-makers’ needs and business relationships, establish new professional relationships, facilitation in access to markets and increase of visibility of their works across Europe and abroad, access to alternative production formula or minor investors. Reinforcement of co-production is secured a.o. by possibility of remote online follow-up of projects’ improvements, changes and modifications, as well as by system of targeted and personalized communication tools incorporated into the platform structure. |
