SUBMISSION WORK IN PROGRESS PITCH
m:brane Forum is exclusively aimed at content for young audiences age 3-18 years.
Through the years, our Pitching Events have led to the improvement of the quality of the projects and of storytelling for Young Audiences. The personal interaction is crucial to us – it’s about chemistry.
The work in progress (W-I-P) pitch is for projects in late production, post production or looking for distribution.
