Pitching Forum Submission Call APN Symposium 2011
Submissions are now being sought for project pitching at the Asia Pacific Producers’ Network (APN) Symposium 2011 to be held on 13 November in Auckland.
Attending the forum will be many of Asia’s top producers including James Wang (Huayi Brothers), Shogo Tomiyama (Toho Studios) and James Choi (Kang Je-Kyu Films).
Ten projects will be selected to take up this extraordinary opportunity, with each allocated five minutes. Successful projects will clearly demonstrate relevance to Asian markets and identify opportunities sought, including in areas of co-production financing and distribution.
Successful applicants will be advised at the end of September and will be invited to attend a pre-forum pitching workshop in October, to be run by the NZ Writers’ Guild in association with the NZ Film Commission. They will also be required to use AV material for their live presentation (to be delivered prior to the actual event); simultaneous language translation will be provided at the event.
