Since 2010, Pack & Pitch has supported emerging directors and producers in preparing their projects for the marketplace. Participants learn how to analyse and prepare their projects for effective written and oral presentation. Talents are mentored in groups and one-on-one sessions by pitching trainers Gabriele Brunnenmeyer and Nicholas Davies, who instruct them in the creation of one-pagers and the analysis of their projects, and provide insight into the all-important subjects of how to pitch, and to whom. Over the course of several days of intensive sessions, Talents prepare written and oral presentations of their projects, which they pitch at the end of the programme to a jury and an audience made up of their peers and industry professionals. Two awards are presented at the end of the programme. The Digitalkraft Pack & Pitch Award, provided in partnership with Digitalkraft, offers a VFX post-production package valued at €5,000 to the Talent with the most successful pitch. The second award grants the selected Talent the opportunity to participate in the following year’s edition of CineLink Industry Days as an observer.
