You Only Pitch Twice

You Only Pitch Twice is a pitch session for short films projects that have been previously presented at other pitching forums, which collaborated in the organisation of the event. The aim of this pitch is to give filmmakers the possibility to expand their network and present their projects in development to another audience of film professionals, in order to have more chances to find the right partners for completing their newest films.

The partners with whom You Only Pitch Twice is developed are the following: SFC | Rendez-vous Industry – Cannes Court Métrage (France), Baltic Pitching Forum (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), ShorTS – Maremetraggio (Italy), Lago Film Fest – Premio Rodolfo Sonego (Italy), Balkan Film Market (Albania).

The TSFM team selected one project for each pitching session organised at each of these events. The selected participants will have five minutes to pitch their project to an audience of film professionals. Following the pitch session, participants will take part in a series of one-to-one meetings with industry professionals scheduled by the TSFM team.

You Only Pitch Twice is exclusively dedicated to creative teams composed of directors, screenwriters and/or producers, from any country in the world, who need development support to complete their submitted projects and who have presented their project at one of the above-mentioned events. A diversified audience of film professionals — commissioning editors, buyers, distributors, festival representatives, directors, producers and film institutions — will provide feedback to the selected projects.
