After announcing the call for its upcoming 12th Co-Production Forum, taking place both in Trieste and online between 24-28 January 2022, WEMW now opens the calls for an exciting first edition of the Slate Market and for all the sections targeting feature fiction films and full-length documentaries in post-production!
WEMW Slate Market & EAVE Consultancies
Deadline: November 30, 2021
This brand-new innovative programme will select 5 companies that are developing a slate of A/V works and will offer them consultancies on how to build a successful company slate and strategic company planning, together with business-to-business exchanges with key players from different industry sectors.
The programme combines the EAVE group work method with a series of plenary sessions and individual consultancies focusing on strategic company planning, potential risk evaluation and company diversification. The main goal is to define realistic short-, mid- and long-term strategies for their companies and to outline the next steps for each project included in their company slates.
Selected teams will have tailor-made curated meetings with a series of WEMW Business Angels, and will receive advice on co-production, financing, marketing and distribution, according to the primary needs of their projects and slates. More info at the following link
