Pitch the Doc is an innovative, versatile and worldwide online platform that provides functionality comparable to traditional, live documentary pitching sessions for projects in development, works-in-progress, postproduction or those in the market-ready stage.
“It's the right idea at the right time, an invaluable tool in the documentary producer's armory, solving many of the problems caused by the “fixture congestion" of too many documentary pitching events spread over to many locations.” – Steven Seidenberg, renowned international documentary expert said.
The idea behind Pitch the Doc is to create a web based repository enabling the presentation of film projects using establishedpitching standards, including detailed written proposal, uploaded visual materials, and a recorded online oral pitch. It would provide Decision Makers from any part of world theremote means to acquaint themselves with projects, contact the authors, and proceed to discuss co-production matters.
“Pitch the Doc is not intended to take place of live pitchings or one-to-one meetings. It is to help establishing first co-production relations.” - Adam Paplinski, the founder of the platform said.
From December 2016 the platform is open free of charges for everybody willing to become beta-users and its official hard launch is scheduled for February 2017.
Steven Seidenberg:
It's been a long time coming, but Pitch The Doc is an essential piece of kit for every documentary producer. It's the right idea at the right time, an invaluable tool in the documentary producer's armory, solving many of the problems caused by the "fixture congestion" of too many documentary pitching events spread over to many locations. Pitch The Doc is just what we need as a method of first contact between filmmakers with ideas and funders with slots.
