The Chicken & Egg Films WIP Showcase will highlight a selection of supported work-in-progress films in various stages from around the
globe. Participating film teams looking for co-productions, finishing
funds, festival premieres, sales, and distribution will each share a
carefully selected excerpt from their feature-length documentary.
Following the showcase, Chicken & Egg Films will host a reception
where filmmakers and attendees can connect and explore potential
partnerships.
