Forum RIDM open the First Pitch call for projects !
The Forum RIDM is proud to announce the 11th edition of First Pitch, a key activity held every year before the RIDM’s professional market, which allows a group of emerging Quebec filmmakers to meet and network with established producers from Quebec’s documentary industry. Once again in person after a very successful 2020 virtual version, the event will take place over two intensive days of training and pitches on September 23 and 30, 2021.
First Pitch aims to train filmmakers in pitching projects, introducing them to the documentary community and fostering new collaborations.
The Forum RIDM encourages emerging Quebec filmmakers to send in their applications by August 30, 2021. All types of projects, genres, formats and mediums are eligible, regardless of their stage of production.
