Pitch
Project packaging, marketing and funding of script and project development.
The project-focused P.R.I.M.E Workshop ties in optimization of the film story and script with funding for the project's development. It consists of three encounters among all participants, together with individual counselling over a period of 10 months.
Participation requirements:
- film script
- outline for the film's realization and commercialisation
- cost estimate and financial plan for the film project's development.
The documents submitted will enable the P.R.I.M.E experts listed below to draw up their evaluations in the fields of film script, distribution/sales, film fund/bank, marketing and games. These reports will serve as the basis for operating a selection among the projects and assessing their merits in view of the unusually high level of project development support from the Workshop's financial sponsors. As such, they also serve to determine on which subjects the Workshop will place most emphasis.
The most promising projects will be developed to the point where they can hold their own on the international market.
