Sheffield Doc/Fest: Meet Market
Need funding, co-producers and sales deals for your project? Do you have a digital or interactive media project, or a project that's funding or distributing outside of the traditional film and TV industries?
MeetMarket is designed to match documentary filmmakers and interactive media-makers to pitch the most innovative projects to the world's key funders, international decision makers and experts at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2014.
MeetMarket is a flexible format of pitching that can accommodate all kinds of projects, filmmakers and media-makers. All pitching takes place in individual meetings where both the pitchers and the funders have requested the meeting, which allows you to get straight into creative and financial discussions.
Last year, they received 614 entries from 53 countries for MeetMarket. The 63 projects selected for MeetMarket 2013 can be viewed here. MeetMarket also raised a projected £6.5m for those 63 projects. A total of 262 decision makers attended including distributors and sales agents (19%); commissioners, buyers, financiers, investors and film funds (57%); crowdfunding platforms, mentors, advisers and consultants (19%); and producers and executive producers (5%).
