Mastering the art of pitching, that is to say to be able to present concisely one's documentary project in a convincing way before a panel of European commissioning editors, is the first but not the only condition to launch a European co-production.
The aim of Docu Regio is not only to organise a training session for European regional producers but also to create a network of fifteen European regions already funding documentary production and ready to promote co-productions among themselves. |
