Dans le cadre du festival Are You Series?, l’ASA (Association des Scénaristes), Scenaristengilde, Mediarte, UPFF, VOFTP et screen.brussels proposent une session de Pitch sous la forme d’un PechaKucha. Les projets sélectionnés auront l’opportunité d’être présentés à un panel de diffuseurs et de distributeurs lors du festival.
Bien que l’usage de l’Anglais soit recommandé pour ces sessions, les pitchs peuvent se faire en Français. L’ASA pourra (si les auteurs le souhaitent) faire traduire les documents qui accompagneront la présentation.
Pitching sessions
In partnership with ASA (Association des Scénaristes), Scenaristengilde, Mediarte, UPFF, VOFTP and screen.brussels, Are You Series? will propose pitching sessions.
8 projects of TV series will be selected to be pitched in front of a panel of 6 professionals (Belgian broadcasters and international sales agents) who will give a feedback on the projects. A prize for the best pitch will be awarded by the panel to one of the projects.
FORMAT
The pitching sessions will take the form of a PECHA KUCHA: PechaKucha (Japanese: ペチャクチャ, chit-chat). It is a presentation style in which 20 images are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total per presentation). The speaker is presenting his project while the images go by. The format keeps presentations concise and fast-paced. Just after their pitch, participants receive a feedback of the panel. Each session will take 15 minutes in total (6’40’’ of pitch +8’ feedback).
