The pitching sessions will take place every day in 2 studios simultaneously. The aim of the pitching session is to enable you to present your project to all the broadcasters, financial partners and streaming platform representatives interested in your project, at once.
Duration of your pitch
The maximum length of your pitch depends on the category of your project.
Projects in concept
Each project in concept will be individually presented in 10 minutes. Cartoon will group several projects in concept (5 to 6) for a one-hour presentation, coordinated by a chairperson.
Projects in development
Your session will last no more than 20 min + 5 min at the beginning and at the end of the presentation to let people get in and out of the room (30 min in total). Save some time at the end of the presentation for questions or feedback from the floor (the chairperson will help you with this part).
Films in production / In sneak preview
Your session will last no more than 20 min + 5 min at the beginning and at the end of the presentation to let people get in and out of the room (30 min in total).
- For films in production: presentation of 15 min max. + 5 min extract of your film (animated images).
- For films in sneak preview: presentation of 3 min max. followed by a 15 min extract of your film (animated images). (15 min can be split into several extracts).
Setting for the pitching session
As we have observed that the best pitching sessions are mostly done by people who leave their seat and stand up with the microphone in front of the public, the presentations are done at a high table and without seats. The high table will give the producers the possibility to have easy access their laptop or tablet and their written text.
To be well prepared
When preparing your pitch think about:
- your project’s concept with the description of the characters and the storylines,
- your project’s graphics,
- the target audience,
- the negotiating rights,
- the production business plan,
- the budget,
- the state of advancement of the financial arrangements,
- your expectations in terms of business at Cartoon Movie (what kind of partners you are looking for).
Don't forget that your Chairperson is here to help.
“Extra time” corner
A special area will be set up just outside each studio so that producers can follow up with people interested without delaying the next presentation.
Videos played during your pitch
REMINDER:
- Films presented in the category "in production" must show 5 minutes of animated images during their pitching session (= 15 minutes of presentation + 5 minutes of images)
- Films presented in the category "sneak preview" must show 15 minutes of animated images during their pitching session (= 5 minutes of presentation + 15 minutes of images)
All technical information for your videos can be found here.
Technical Meeting
To make sure your equipment is ready and to avoid any technical problem, you will have a technical meeting on the day of your presentation in your allocated studio. The exact time will be communicated to you at the end of February via My Checklist.
➤ Please be present in your pitching room on time sharp to attend your technical meeting.
Cartoon and the technical team cannot be held responsible if you show up late and don’t get your material tested.
List of attendees at your pitch
We will scan the badges of the people entering the studio. The list of attendees will be sent directly by mail to the main producer of your project and to your chairperson after the pitch.
Feedback forms on the mobile app
Buyers can fill in the feedback form in the mobile app. It will be sent directly to the producers and co-producers.
