In 2010 the Good Pitch will be visiting New York, Washington DC,
San Francisco and London.
ABOUT THE GOOD PITCH
Documentary is a powerful tool for creating social change. But only by working with the right partners can filmmakers create real impact and ensure that ambitious, issue-driven films get made, find audiences and inspire and enable participation. The ambition to create powerful coalitions around films is why we created the Good Pitch, an evolution in the traditional pitch format.
The Good Pitch is a one-day live event bringing together specially selected foundations, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, broadcasters and potential corporate and brand partners to form powerful alliances around groundbreaking films. 8 filmmaking teams will pitch their film and its associated outreach campaign to the assembled audience with the aim of creating a unique coalition around each film to maximise its impact and influence.
2009 saw the Good Pitch embark upon a tour of North America and London. The innovative pitching forum took place as part of the TDF at Hot Docs in Toronto, the AFI-Discovery Channel SILVERDOCS Documentary Festival and IFP's Independent Film Week as well as the Good Pitch UK, a stand alone event held at Amnesty International in London.
