Prepare a PDF presentation of your project. Written in English only. From 10 to 20 pages in total, including:

  • A cover page with the project title, contact name and a nice still to illustrate the project (such as a poster of a feature film)
  • The concept/note of intent: it should explain what the project is about and why you believe in it (max. 2 pages)
  • Give as much detail as you can on the content that you will develop (description of the main characters, treatment/storyline: extensive description of the story). Please be aware that to obtain clear and helpful advice from our panel of experts, you will need to be as precise as possible.
  • Nice stills of the project and graphic elements: make it attractive!
