Looking for new ideas and talents
The second competition of the Script Pitching project is starting for producers who are looking for new ideas, as well as for screenwriters who want to present their ideas and ready-made scripts to producers. The organizers of the project are the Ukrainian Film Academy and the online database of the Ukrainian audiovisual sector DzygaMDB.
