We’re delighted to announce that Good Pitch is returning to New York’s Ford Foundation on May 25th 2012. There will also be Good Pitch Europe and San Francisco events in June and October respectively. In a move away from last year’s application process, filmmakers can now submit for multiple Good Pitch events with one application form. The call for entries for all these events is now open here http://britdoc.org/goodpitch

A partnership between the Channel 4 BRITDOC Foundation and The Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program, Good Pitch is an invitation-only event, starting with an intensive two-day campaign development workshop for selected filmmakers. This is followed by a day-long live event which brings together invited foundations, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, broadcasters and other media to expand the resources aimed at maximizing the impact of social-issue documentary.

The call is aimed at documentary filmmakers of any nationality working on feature-length or hour-long independent documentary film projects that tackle important global and national issues and enhance our understanding of the world. Good Pitch is open to projects looking for completion funding, outreach funding, campaigning networks, or a combination of these.

The call for entries for all Good Pitch 2012 events is now open and will close at 4pm UK time on the following days:

Good Pitch New York & Good Pitch Europe
Closing date for applications:
Wednesday 1st February, 4pm UK time

Good Pitch San Francisco
Closing date for applications:
Wednesday 9th May, 4pm UK time

Good Pitch is grateful for continued support from Chicken & Egg Pictures, Crosscurrents Foundation, Fledgling Fund, Ford Foundation, Impact Partners, Working Films, Wyncote Foundation, and anonymous donors.
