The 2023 edition of One-on-One Pitches will take place in person on Wednesday, November 22, at UQÀM’s Salle Polyvalente from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
This activity aims to foster partnerships in documentary production at both national and international level. On this day, producers and directors will have the opportunity to pitch their documentary projects to industry representatives during 15-minute long individual meetings, in speed dating format. Some of the most influential figures in the documentary sector will be present, including public and private broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, festival programmers, institutions, fund representatives, and co-producers. This is a unique opportunity to discover new talents in the documentary field and bring exciting ideas to fruition.
You can find the list of industry representatives for 2023 here.
Please note that this list is subject to change and will be updated daily according to new confirmations and the rate at which pre-booked appointment slots are filled.
ONE-ON-ONE PITCHES RULES
The matchmaking process is based on the industry representatives' search criteria, the analysis of each project's dossier, specific project criteria (topics, format, genre, language, stage), and the people you wish to meet.
During registration, you will be required to make 12 appointment choices from the list of industry representatives. Forum RIDM guarantees you 8 meetings, including at least 4 from your choice list. The other 4 meetings will be assigned by Forum RIDM team based on your project dossiers. Please note that the total number of assigned appointments may vary slightly depending on industry representatives' availability.
ATTENTION! If an industry representative you wished to meet is no longer listed in the form, it may be because:
• They are attending One-on-One Pitches with a colleague, and the other person's name is listed. We recommend referring to the company name when making your choices.
• All available time slots are already filled.
