NISI MASA - European Short Pitch

The aim of the European Short Pitch is to develop a European production of short film through promotion of projects starting from the phase of writing, by meetings between scriptwriters/directors and producers on the European level. Starting co-production in the writing stage would improve the financial development of short films, and thus their economic viability and European visibility. And also experiencing European co-production in short film, fostering contacts between young producers on small-scale projects economically speaking, would make the step to feature film production easier. Then, several European producers could combine their means and energies for discovering new talents, supporting them on their way to directing a first feature.

The scriptwriting session will take place from 10-15 January 2011, at the Moulin d'Ande-Ceci (writing residency in France), and the pitching session will take place in March (place to be confirmed).

- improving the scripts and helping in the production of projects: pitching session will be organised in front of European producers;
- out of 24 participants, about 12 contest finalists, the rest being either NM members or new experienced candidates.
- four professional tutors involved, managing the educational aspect;
- open to all EU countries + Croatia.

Then, if you have a very good short film project you would like to develop, “European Short Pitch” is for you!
