Deadline: 27 March 2024
The Celtic Media Festival International Pitching Forum has announced applications for International Pitching Forum development prize to encourage a culture of international commissioning amongst producers in the Celtic countries and regions.
The Celtic Media Festival International Pitching Forum has promoted co-productions and International commissions for independent production companies, giving companies the opportunity to pitch projects to Commissioners from across the UK, Ireland, and Europe, as well as Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The mission at Celtic Media Festival is to give production companies the opportunity to meet and pitch to International Broadcasters in one space.
The International Pitching Forum has previously led to a range of successful TV and film productions, including Llanw/TIDE, which was first pitched by Welsh company Cwmni Da and Stornoway based Gaelic language producer MacTV at the 2017 International Pitching Forum. The pitch led to a collaboration between S4C, TG4, BBC Northern Ireland, MG Alba and LIC, the largest independent television production company in China and the series was broadcast to critical acclaim, achieved high ratings and was sold to 50 countries worldwide.
The CMF International Pitching Forum will take place at the Celtic Media Festival in Cardiff, Wales from the 4th to the 6th of June 2024 which will feature a live pitching event.
