The Channel 4 Sheffield Pitch is back!
Six new directors will pitch to a panel of television executives, including Channel 4 commissioning editors, to win the chance to make a 24 minute film for Channel 4’s documentary new talent strand, First Cut. The pitch takes place on Saturday afternoon
Everything from the candidates’ CVs to their pitching skills will be under scrutiny. The prize: a 10-12 week placement to direct a half-hour film with a £50 000 budget for Channel 4’s critically-acclaimed documentary new talent strand, ‘First Cut.’
Once again this year’s pitch is open to experienced AP’s and up-and-coming directors, who have not yet received a Director credit on a network primetime documentary film. You must be UK-based, and be able to take up a freelance placement with a production company of Channel 4’s choice.
