The seventh edition of the US in Progress will be held from the 25th till 28th of October 2017, as a part of the 8th American Film Festival in Wroclaw (October 24-29th).
Thanks to support of the Polish Film Institute we are happy to initiate the first edition of Polish-American Co-production Meetings, a networking opportunity for Polish producers seeking partners from the US. Panels will consist of producers and publicists working in the US or with collaboration with US and aim to foster transatlantic projects. Guest speakers will include George Rush, Adam Kersh, Mike Ryan, and others.
US in Progress is held twice yearly (June edition takes place in Paris during Champs-Elysees Film Festival). In Wroclaw, invite-only screenings will feature four projects selected from numerous submissions of independent American feature-length films in the final editing stages.
Congratulations to the 2017 US in Progress Wroclaw participants:
● Ghost Box Cowboy by John Maringouin
● Honky Kong by Stephen Gurewitz
● Jules of Light and Dark by Daniel Laabs
● One Man Dies a Million Times by Jessica Oreck
The filmmakers and their producers will attend the presentations as well as one-on-one meetings with top European buyers and festival programmers and listen to presentations from Polish film organizations dealing with film production and promotion.
Selected four Polish producers and filmmakers attending will pitch their ideas to the US producers and investors. Other local professionals are invited to network and learn more about the differences in European and American film production system in a less formal setting.
