Pitch
Workshop for producers, executive producers, production managers and postproduction managers on how to best position the production of their films within the digital workflow and how to optimize the communication between the various partners involved

Using case studies, the two-and-a-half-day Workshop analyses the three best digital production and postproduction workflows related to three ‹standard› film budgets: 200'000 € to 1 mio € /around 2 mio € /around 5 mio €. It gives producers, executive producers, production managers and postproduction managers the methods and tools to best position the production of their feature or documentary films within the digital workflow.

The second part of the programme will be devoted to reviewing the participants' projects.

The third part focuses on the new digital distribution workflow from the Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) to the theater.

Ultimately the Workshop will investigate the perspectives opened by 3D production.
