PFTC Documentary Program 2009




PFTC Documentary Development Program 2009 In Association With QPIX

The PFTC, in association with QPIX, is calling for documentary concepts, treatments and/or outlines for development. The documentaries must be targeted at existing broadcast networks that have the capacity to pay pre-sales. At the end of this program, participants will be encouraged to make application to PFTC and/or SCREEN AUSTRALIA for development finance once market interest is secured. The target for this program is for the projects to be presented to national and/or other networks to secure market interest. As standard, entry into the program is competitive, but participation is free of charge.

Participants will take part in some short intensive masterclasses with established documentary makers.

QPIX, with the participant, will develop and produce a short “teaser” reel (HD DVCam) of around 2 to 5 minutes for inclusion in their Presentation Kit.

Participants and their one most advanced piece of product will be developed towards a genuine not simulated industry pitching session.

QPIX will stage this presentation/pitching opportunity for participants with some key decision makers from the networks at a private opportunity event held at QPIX.

After completing the program, applicants will be encouraged to make application to PFTC and/or SCREEN AUSTRALIA for development finance once market interest is secured.

The Documentary Development Program is financed by PFTC. To be eligible, applicants must be resident and professionally based in Queensland.
